ARIO seeks to inform, to promote and to provide a Collaborative Platform for exchange of ideas and information with an Italian perspective. It centers on Cultural, Professional, Academic and Social interaction and synergies among Researchers, Scholars, Professionals and Entrepreneurs sharing similar values.
ARIO will organize and promote meetings, seminars and workshops, both online and face to face, to discuss a variety of topics as identified and brought forth by its members and contributors.
Special emphasis will be placed on fast moving scientific and socio-economic trends and phenomena, as they impact us globally. Issues such as climate change, artificial intelligence, population trends, food production, migratory flows, and vaccine safety.
We aim to promote joint exchange programs and cooperation in research, to facilitate activities among students, scientists, professionals and scholars, with the support of Ontario, North American and European institutions.
To contact us please send us an email at info@laltraitalia.org and we will be glad to talk with you.
