The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) promotes the internationalisation of Italian research and scientific diplomacy as fundamental tools for the development of cooperation between Italy and the rest of the world. Underlying MAECI’s action is the conviction that there can be no economic development without innovation and support for scientific research.
MAECI’s General Directorate for the Promotion of the Country System (DGSP) makes use of a network of Scientific Attachés and Experts, most of whom come from the roles of the State and Public Bodies, who act to enhance the sectors of excellence in scientific and technological research and to support the establishment of Italian companies operating in advanced technology sectors.
The Office of the Scientific Attaché in Switzerland is at the Consulate General of Italy in Zurich.
