ORGANISATION

VIA-Academy emerges as a 'bottom-up' organization that thrives on the synergistic and pro-active contribution of all its members. At the moment, the major contributors are: Mauro Degli Esposti (Faculty of Life Sciences), Silvia Massini (Manchester Business School) and Lucio Piccirillo (Astrophysics) all working at The University of Manchester. Luca Boscolo (Nottingham) and Paolo Missier (Manchester) are contributing their IT expertise to build this website, while Manuela Costanzo, member of the COMITES of Manchester coordinates the interface with the Italian community and its representatives, including the Consulate in Manchester.

The initial structure ad functioning of the VIA network is described in the specific links contained in VIAWiki (predominantly in Italian).
