DONATIONS: SUPPORT THE FUTURE!

A SIMP fund has been created to support the training activities of young members who do not have institutional positions (i.e., NOT full or associate professor, permanent researcher or Italian RTDB or RTDA): each member can participate in the growth of the fund with a donation of any amount (please specify "DONATION" in the reason for payment).

Thanks to the generosity and foresight of those who will join the initiative, it will be possible to set up grants for participation in Schools, Congresses, and Workshops related to SIMP topics. All those who will join the initiative will be publicly thanked by the President during the Annual Meeting and the list of supporters will be published in the journals Plinius and Elements.
