As of today, I’m honored to be a member of Gruppo 2003! This is a group which brings together some of the most influential Italian scientists (including for instance Giorgio Parisi, here is the full list of members), with the aim of improving the far from ideal situation of scientific research in Italy. The group is also responsible for the online journal Scienza in Rete, and holds a certain political influence. Needless to say I’m honored to have been invited to join the group, and I hope I’ll be able to give my contribution to improving the state of research in Italy!
Associated to TIFPA-INFN
As of today I’m officially associated to INFN, the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics. I’m associated through our local TIFPA center, which stands for “Trento Institute for Fundamental Physics and Applications”. In particular, I’ll be a member of the FLAG Iniziativa Specifica, which stands for “Quantum Fields in Gravity, Cosmology and Black Holes”, and focuses on a number of themes which include early-Universe cosmology and black hole physics. Looking forward to many interesting discussions which will come out of this, especially from FLAG!
CosmoVerse
As of today I am officially a member of the CosmoVerse COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action, an European network of like-minded people with a particular interest in cosmological tensions, aiming at fostering interdisciplinary research. The Action is chaired by Jackson Levi Said at the University of Malta, whereas the Vice Chair is my friend and colleague Eleonora Di Valentino. I look forward to many interesting discussions, workshops, and seminars that will come out of CosmoVerse!
