The Mediterranean Institute of Fundamental Physics, commonly known as MIFP, is a private independent non-governmental institution created in order to unite scientists in different countries around the world working in all fields of physics. MIFP is a non-profit organization whose main goal is to provide efficient and flexible management of international collaboration projects and teaching programmes, to ease and increase the communication between leading researchers in different areas of fundamental and applied physics, and to organize international scientific meetings, workshops, schools and conferences.〔International news section () Academy of Sciences of Moldova〕 It is located in Marino, Rome, Italy. Founded in July 2010 by a small group of researchers, by the year of 2012 MIFP numbers over one hundred members. During 2010, 2011 and 2012 MIFP has held, took part in, or partly sponsored more than ten international events in Armenia, Italy, Greece, France, Ukraine, Brazil, Thailand and Russia.〔Second International School of Nanophotonics and Photovoltaics ''ISNP-2010'' ()〕〔Nano Euro Med 2011 () Multifunctional Nanomaterials: ''Mediterranean - East Europe meeting''〕〔International School of Nanophotonics and Photovoltaics ''ISNP-2011'' ()〕〔(''Latin America Meeting 2012'' )〕〔ESF PESC Exploratory Workshop: ''Polaritonics: From Basic Research to Device Applications'' ()〕〔Vth International School of Nanophotonics and Photovoltaics ''ISNP-2012'' ()〕 The mean h-index within the MIFP members is 27. About 50% of the members represent Russian scientific diaspora.〔Владимир Тихомиров, ("Возвратная перспектива" ), ''Kommersant'', 09.04.2012〕〔(Ru Sci Tech Forum 2012 )〕 MIFP is financed from the research grants and by private donations. == History == In the year of 2001, the 1st French-Russian Meeting on New trends in Solid State Physics in Clermont-Ferrand, France which was sponsored by Valéry Giscard d'Estaing started a series of annual meetings of world leading experts in solid state physics. Further meetings have been held in Clermont-Ferrand on a yearly basis from 2002 to 2006 to be followed by Meetings in Rome in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 with constantly increasing number of participating scientists. Shortly after the 2010 annual meeting, a group of researchers working in different countries decided to create a private organization which main goal would be bringing together a strong international team providing a stimulating research environment and working atmosphere. Another mission of MIFP was reunification of the Russian scientists who spread all over the world after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. With a support from Dr. Giuseppe Eramo, University of Rome II Tor Vergata, MIFP was founded on 1 July 2010, and Prof. Alexey Kavokin, University of Southampton, was appointed its Scientific director.〔 The institute started function within the campus of the University of Rome II Tor Vergata, and moved to Marino, Rome later that year. Starting from the year 2011, the yearly scientific meetings became Annual MIFP March Meetings gathering scientists working not only in Solid state physics but in a great variety of fields. 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「Mediterranean Institute of Fundamental Physics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
