On the occasion of the VI Day of Italian Research in the World, the Frazer Institute, the Consulate of Italy in Brisbane, and the Embassy of Italy in Australia organised a conference titled “Artificial Intelligence and Medicine” in Brisbane. The event brought together Italian researchers in Queensland and provided them with the opportunity to present their studies and network with one another.
Paolo Crudele, the Ambassador of Italy in Australia, delivered a speech via videolink at the conference. He expressed his gratitude to the organisers of the event and the Italian researchers who promote Italian culture and science globally. Crudele highlighted the importance of artificial intelligence and medicine and the challenges it presents.
The Ambassador noted the significant contributions of Italian researchers in this field and the cooperation between Italy and Australia in developing new competitive strategies like quantum computing and artificial intelligence. Crudele expressed his confidence in the growth of this collaboration in the future, thanks to events like this conference. In her speech, Luna Marinucci, the Consul of Italy in Brisbane, acknowledged the importance of Italian communities in Australia and their multiple and varied needs. She particularly highlighted the needs of Italian researchers and university students, who may arrive with a position already determined but require contact with other researchers and a network.
The Consul acknowledged the role of the Association of Italian Researchers in Australasia (ARIA) as a network tool for researchers and expressed her hope for collaboration between ARIA and the Italian diplomatic and consular network in Australia to give Italian researchers a stronger voice and the possibility of cooperation.
Marinucci also emphasised the importance of scientific collaboration between Australia and Italy and highlighted the active agreements between Australian and Italian universities or departments, scientific projects collaboration, and over a thousand Italian researchers in Australia. She expressed her desire to reinforce the network among Italian scientists in Queensland and to organise a scientific conference in Brisbane. The sixth Italian Research Day in the World provided an opportunity for this conference and focused on the topic of artificial intelligence and medicine.
The conference highlighted the potential of artificial intelligence in diagnosis and treatment effectiveness and its fast-growing commercial sector. Words of gratitude went to the University of Queensland for its collaboration and support in organising this conference.
