In the midst of the Covid emergency, there is also time to sort out some minor appointments, so to speak. However, not a few, to be honest. In fact, they are almost there about forty national public bodies, called to renew or integrate their own managing members. A "sea magnum", that of public bodies: 200 institutes for the most part outside the general view and attention, in addition to professional orders and research bodies. All equipped, of course, with a president and directors.
Let's start with the National Metrology Research Institute INRiM, whose president has been out of office since May. Established in 2004, it promotes research in metrology and develops the most advanced standards and methods of measurement and related technologies. Then the Italian shooting gallery UITS extension where the extraordinary commissioner expired. The aims of the Uits are the instruction and practice of shooting with compressed air weapons and the dissemination and sporting practice of target shooting as a sports federation supervised by CONI. The “Francesco Severi” High Mathematics Institute INDAM must integrate its board of directors: the institute promotes the training and specialization of mathematics researchers on a national and international level, promotes research and takes care of the transfer of knowledge to technological applications.
Il Maritime Operations Safety Committee must renew its president. The committee performs supervisory and control functions to prevent accidents in offshore operations in the oil and gas sector. The mandates of the members of the board of directors of the national institute for the analysis of public policies expire in December INAPP. Public research body, it took the place of the former Isfol. In October, the mandate of a member of the national rice body expired ENR, which deals with the protection of the rice sector and carries out actions to improve production. There zoological station “Anton Dohm” of Naples (which recognizes its origins in the institute founded in 1872 and studies evolution through research on marine organisms) must complete its board of directors.
Then the Italian Naval League LNI extension which must renew the vice-presidency and the board of directors. The League aims to spread the seafaring spirit, love for the sea and the protection of the marine environment among the population, especially the youth. The consortium for the scientific and technological research area of Trieste which has the task of promoting innovation and the development of research by transferring the results to the market must update its board of directors. And then, again, theENEA,ANVUR (national agency for the evaluation of the university system), theACI,AGIA (Children and Adolescent Authority), AGCOM, L'Transport Regulatory Authority, CSC (experimental center of cinematography, where in December the mandate of the president Felice Laudadio expires and in January the members of the board Giancarlo Giannini, Carlo Verdone, Roberto Andò), Great Pompeii project approved by the European Commission in the framework of the extraordinary program for urgent conservation and maintenance interventions, INFN (Institute of Nuclear Physics), INGV (geophysics and volcanology institute), ISTAT, the Institute of Genoa “Giannina Gaslini”,ONFA (national work for orphaned children of Air Force military personnel).
The carnet is not complete, because in the labyrinth of renewals also those concerning the Port authorities. Looking ahead, 9 renewals: 4 for the Adriatic Sea, 2 for the Ligurian Sea, as many for the Tyrrhenian Sea, 1 for the Ionian Sea. And finally, the Parks bodies. In Italy there are 24 national parks. Now those of theAsinara, Lucanian Apennines and Val Grande.
