Adjunct Scholars

Adjunct Scholars are those whose fields of scientific or scholarly expertise complement the work done at the Specola. They are affiliated with the Specola, with access to the Specola’s facilities, while continuing to be supported by their own home institutions. Such scholars are appointed by the Director, with the approval of the President of the Governatorato of SCV or his delegate.
