Throughout 2023, we conducted more than a dozen interviews with scientists from various fields - from physics and biology to archaeology and geology. Although the research of our interviewees is interdisciplinary in nature and the scope of their scientific work is very broad, they share a common denominator - it is Polish-Italian activity.
