Rome, 24 february 2023 - Med-Or Foundation Chairman, Marco Minniti, and the President of the National Research Council (CNR), Maria Chiara Carrozza, signed a collaboration agreement during a meeting held at the Foundation headquarters in Rome.

In particular, the agreement signed with the CNR will be aimed at promoting research projects and higher education, in subjects of common interest, as well as organizing seminar activities, conferences and analyses.

“The signing of an agreement between Med-Or and the CNR represents an important new step in the consolidation of our collaborative relationships with Italy’s leading research and academic institutions.
