The 2003 Group was set up to promote scientific research in Italy in all locations, in both the academic and industrial fields. With the series of meetings dedicated to the theme “Science & Industry”, we intend to address the relationship between basic research and its industrial applications, which bring undeniable benefits to citizens and businesses. The first conference in the Science & Industry series, dedicated to the biomedical sector, was organized at Bocconi University on 27 November.
