We look to the future of scientific knowledge
with the inquisitive and enthusiastic eyes of young researchers
The Foundation was set up in memory of Francesco della Valle, a memory that is intended to be a heritage of ideas, values and projects.
One of Francesco’s projects was indeed to create a Foundation for young people, in order to promote their training and research activities.
