ISR and researchers from the Autonomous Province of Trento, Italy cement their partnership

ISR and the University of Maryland's longstanding and successful relationship with researchers from the Autonomous Province of Trento, Italy, has led to a formal cementing of the partnership. A recent series of overseas exchange visits has fostered the development of two key agreements. In May 2010 a delegation from Trento visited ISR for presentations and extensive discussions with 12 different University of Maryland faculty members. This May,2011, ISR and other University of Maryland researchers and staff paid a reciprocal visit to Trento for a technical workshop and extensive laboratory tours. The recent Maryland delegation included ISR Director Reza Ghodssi (ECE/ISR), Associate Professor Pamela Abshire (ECE/ISR), Professor Peter Kofinas (BioE), and ISR Director of External Relations Jeff Coriale. This team met with Dr. Alberto Lui of the Autonomous Province of Trento International Relations Department; Dr. Mariano Anderle, the Autonomous Province of Trento director of international relations; and Dr. Carla Locatelli, the vice rector for international studies and research at the University of Trento.
