Rosa (DiaSorin): “I hope that more and more high schools will join the Mad for Science project”

“As a leading company in advanced research in the biomedical field, we have decided to invest in the talent of teachers and young generations, conceiving and promoting Mad for Science for four years, which now, in its fifth edition, has been a Corporate Social Responsibility project , has become the mission of the DiaSorin Foundation. I hope that, also thanks to the dialogue created with the Ministry of Education, more and more schools will know the project and be able to seize the educational opportunities and orientation towards scientific careers. Science shares with teachers a design and work methodology that is potentially replicable also for the numerous other calls available today for our schools “. This was stated by Carlo Rosa, CEO of the DiaSorin Group, during the presentation of the “Mad for Science” project which took place this morning. “We understood – he added – that to learn to love science you have to see it, one thing is to see it in books and another is to experience it physically. We understood that it was necessary to finance schools through a contest that rewarded the merit of students and so this program was born which then reached the national level “. “In our country – underlined Rosa – we do not have a Biotech tradition, also because a large pharmaceutical company has never been born here in Italy. Whenever we need a researcher or an engineer, we go to take a phenomenon, because we go to take 1% of the researchers at the Polytechnic. We produce world-class excellence, the best minds in the world are born in our country. The problem is that we employ them too little, and therefore many are forced to leave “.
