The EU commissioner for research and innovation, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, has expressed her sadness following the fire at the Città della Scienza in Naples, Italy.
“This is terrible news for the science, research and innovation community,” said Geoghegan-Quinn in a statement. “The Città della Scienza has played a leading role in the communication of culture, science and technology in Italy and at international level, and has been a valuable partner in EU research projects.”
