Italian Embassy launches social media campaign to promote Italian researchers

Doha: On the occasion of the Italian Research Day in the World, which will be celebrated today, the Embassy of Italy in Doha has created a social media campaign to promote Italian researchers working in Qatar, as well as the network of contacts between research centres and universities in the two countries. 

This network is currently expanding and strengthening thanks to the dedication and commitment of the Italian professionals.  It has resulted in a growing number of collaborations, projects and shared knowledge, all contributing to consolidate Italy-Qatar relations, improve the bilateral cooperation on scientific matters and set ambitious common goals benefiting progress, prosperity and wellbeing for the local society and the international community. This communication campaign has been produced by the Embassy of Italy in partnership with Sidra Medicine, a state-of-the-art hospital for women and children and a member of Qatar Foundation. The Sidra Medicine Research team, which includes over 35 different nationalities, is actively engaged in precision medicine, from improved diagnostics of rare genetic diseases to cancer research and new therapies, aiming to boost patients’ immune responses through innovative approaches in personalized medicine.
