The Ambassador of Italy to Croatia Paolo Trichilo met David Smith, director of the Rugjer Boscovich Institute (RBI), Croatia's largest scientific research centre (with about a thousand employees) with a multidisciplinary character, active in the natural, biomedical and engineering sciences, with contributions to higher education and cooperation with the business sector.
The director illustrated the work in progress to expand the premises and the plans for new activities, including the Artificial Intelligence sector, highlighting the growing cooperation with Italian institutions.
Present at the meeting were some of the Italian researchers working, either permanently or temporarily, at the Institute, particularly in the field of theoretical physics. Among other things, Ambassador Trichilo highlighted the importance of the 'Day of Italian Research in the World'.
The Zagreb Institute, which has branch offices in Rovinj and Šibenik dedicated to the marine environment, is named after the Jesuit Boscovich (1711-1788), a great mathematician and physicist, a citizen of the Republic of Dubrovnik.
