The presence of the Ictp in Fvg “can take on an important role in the current context in which the region is committed to transforming itself from a border land to a land of connection. Thanks to its reputation and its commitment to international cooperation, the Ictp also carries out a role in facilitating dialogues and collaborations between scientists from around the world.” The president of the Fvg Region Massimiliano Fedriga said this regarding the 60 years of the Abdus Salam Center for Theoretical Physics.
The Fvg, a “geographical border land, has the possibility of using the presence of the ICTP as a bridge towards other regions and nations, facilitating the exchange of knowledge, technologies and resources. In particular, cooperation with the Western Balkans is a opportunities to promote scientific and technological development in the region and beyond,” he pointed out.
In addition to the challenges of life sciences, quantum technologies and transition, which the ICTP of Trieste deals with and on which “the regional Administration is focused”, the Region “has adopted various measures to encourage the process of decarbonisation of economic systems and energy in terms of reducing emissions with an energy efficiency improvement of the entire ‘FVG Region System’ and an increase in energy production from renewable sources”. added Fedriga.
The reference is above all to “green hydrogen deriving from renewable sources, used as a raw material, fuel, carrier or energy accumulator”, a lever for more sustainable development, with reduced CO2 emissions, and competitive”. The Region wanted also “strengthen collaboration in the hydrogen sector with Slovenia and Croatia by launching a unique process at European level for the establishment of a North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley – he said – an initiative which also responds to the priorities of the ‘Clean Hydrogen Partnership’ at European level which has shown attention to the trilateral cooperation platform launched as a pilot experience in the Central Eastern European area”.
