The Italy Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka has hosted the signature of two new agreements involving the National Research Council (CNR), Italy's largest public research body.
The first memorandum was forged with the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and the second with Tsukuba University.
The event was opened by the Commissioner General for Italy at Expo 2025 Osaka, Ambassador Mario Vattani.
The Memorandum of Cooperation with JAMSTEK is the outcome of an initiative taken after a meeting held on October 29, 2024 during which the international relations unit at the National Research Council welcomed a delegation of the Japanese Agency, laying the groundwork for a structured collaboration on themes of common interest.
The agreement provides for stronger bilateral cooperation on joint projects, researcher mobility programs and the development of common activities in the field of oceanography, marine geophysics and climate modelling, as well as the use of common infrastructures.
