Pubblicato il 02/08/2013Read time: 1 min

The Italian Minister for Education, University and Research, Maria Chiara Carrozza, appointed the national representatives for the Horizon 2020 Committee, with the aim of preparing our country to the new Framework Programme for European Research (2014-2020).

According to the Minister, an active and continuous presence of our representatives is necessary to get a quote of the funding that, at least, equals the Italian budgetary contribute to the Programme – something that did not happen in the FP7. Also, the whole national systems of research, innovation and of course politics have to offer their support. The Minister for Education, University and Research will be on the frontline in Bruxelles, to highlight the role of country with such a remarkable scientific and industrial tradition as Italy.

The fourteen Italian members of the Committee (seven men and seven women) are thus called to represent Italy in Europe, within their specific fields of expertise.

When applied to women in the field of science, the question takes on various dimensions. We talked with Ilaria Capua, the Director of the Division of Comparative Biomedical Sciences at the Istituto Zooprofilattico delle Venezie, and Member of the Italian Parliament, about this challenge, the importance teaching women leadership skills and what the world learned from the Ebola outbreak.
