ISSNAF is very happy to announce a series of webinars, called #weareISSNAF, to introduce some of our leading members and provide glimpses of their fascinating research. 

Our speakers are prominent experts in their fields who serve in leading roles in the ISSNAF organization. They will discuss an array of topics, in the format of interviews, scheduled over the next few months.  

We are thankful to the Italian Embassy for their continued support and to the Consulates and the Italian Cultural Institutes (IIC) that are actively involved with the organization of these webinars.
