AISUK (Association of Italian Scientists in the United Kingdom) is a dynamic network that brings together Italian researchers, academics, and professionals working in the UK across diverse scientific fields. Founded to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange, AISUK serves as a bridge between the Italian and British scientific communities, promoting interdisciplinary dialogue and supporting its members in their academic and professional growth. The association organizes conferences, workshops, and networking events, facilitating discussions on cutting-edge research and innovation. AISUK also engages in science diplomacy, strengthening ties between Italy and the UK while advocating for the recognition of Italian scientific excellence abroad. Through mentoring programs and career development initiatives, it supports young researchers and fosters new opportunities. Committed to inclusivity and collaboration, AISUK continues to be a key reference point for Italian scientists in the UK, enhancing their impact on the global scientific landscape. Moreover, AISUK collaborates with other associations of EU scientists in the UK through the CONNECTS-UK platform to strengthen the links between EU and UK.
