Research, Ricciardi: ‘Italy late, use Pnrr funds well’

Collaboration between public and private is fundamental in the field of research and medicine. This was supported by Walter Ricciardi, scientific director of Ics Maugeri, and scientific advisor to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, on the occasion of the “Researcher’s Day:” We are talking about a sector in which Italy is lagging behind on both fronts. Italy is at the bottom of the public, not only among the large countries but also among the small and medium-sized ones, investing only 1.2% of the gross domestic product. As far as the private sector is concerned, half is invested compared to other large countries. We need to change and accelerate this innovation. We need to invest more, the money is there and it comes from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Pnrr) and in general from the Next Generation Eu, but we must use it well “.
