The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) opens a new branch at the University of Camerino. Approved by the Boards of Directors of the two Bodies, the INGV headquarters will be located in the Geology Section of the Unicam School of Science and Technology.
Great satisfaction of the INGV President prof. Carlo Doglioni and the Rector of Unicam prof. Claudio Pettinari, who strongly wanted the strengthening and institutionalization of a collaboration already in place between the two institutions.
In fact, Unicam's School of Science and Technology has been collaborating for some time with INGV, particularly in the sector of Earthquake Geology and Volcanology with joint participation in research projects and scientific publications of international diffusion. Furthermore, Unicam and INGV already have an agreement in place for the financing of PhD scholarships in "Science and Technology: physical and chemical processess in Earth systems", with INGV staff who are part of the International PhD Academic Board Unicam School of Advanced Study. The two entities are also partners in the “REDI – Reducing Risks of Natural Disasters” research consortium, led by Unicam and which also includes the Gran Sasso Scienze Institute, the National Institute of Nuclear Physics.
“A great opportunity for Geology and all the Sciences of the University of Camerino – says prof. Emanuele Tondi, Unicam teacher, director of the new INGV headquarters and responsible for the implementation of the research and teaching support programs approved and financed by the two institutions. The collaboration between the two bodies will be aimed at both the didactic offer and the research activity, on specific topics of interest also in our area".
The professor. Carlo Doglioni, president of INGV underlined that "For INGV, collaboration with research institutions that share the same scientific interests is essential for the constant progress of research which increasingly requires the interaction of several disciplines".
The INGV Headquarters, which also provides for the deployment of the research body's personnel to Unicam, will carry out research and teaching support activities through the sharing of laboratories and instruments. The INGV headquarters will also have an annual budget to finance doctoral scholarships, research grants and additional graduate technicians, or expenses related to the scientific collaborations of the two institutions.
