Institute for Scientific Interchange (shortened to ISI Foundation or simply ISI and sometimes pronounced 'izzy') is an independent, resident-based research institute known for work in complexity science, theoretical and mathematical physics located in Turin (Italy, EU). ISI was founded in 1983 and its mission focuses on promoting scientific interchange and cooperation at the highest degree of quality both in terms of creativity and originality of research and to represent a pillar of high level interdisciplinary training.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= ISI Foundation homepage )〕 In the 2011 SIR World Report of Institutional Rankings, ISI ranked 28th in Europe for scientific impact, 87th worldwide and 1/4th of the articles produced at ISI are in the top cited 10%.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= 2011 SIR World Report of Institutional Rankings )〕 ==History and mission== The ISI Foundation was founded and supported by the Regional Government, the Province and City of Turin, and by the two major Bank institutions in Piedmont: Compagnia di San Paolo and the CRT Foundation. Its core mission is the promotion of scientific research within the international cooperation, fostering the creation of research groups and of innovative and interdisciplinary labs, with a special focus on the science of complex systems. The aim is to create a new connection between basic and applied science, helping to face and solve some of the essential issues of contemporary society. The challenge of complexity has now become a sort of paradigm of modernity, and Turin and Piedmont have nowadays become one of the most important international locations in such fundamental research. Thanks to the support of the public founding members and to the precious and continuous cooperation with the CRT Foundation (in particular with the Lagrange Project) and the San Paolo Company, the ISI Foundation was able to tackle, by new frontiers research projects, bold paths, settling itself among the main research centres for complexity. The success and richness of the research work at the ISI Foundation resides primarily in the “human factor” encompassing the scientific and personal value of its scientific and administrative staff, as well as the complex web of human relations that everyday brings the institute to life. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Institute for Scientific Interchange」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
