Abstract
Vito Volterra fervently served his country, first in a military capacity during World War I, founding the Office of Inventions in 1917, and then in an institutional capacity, founding the Italian National Research Council in 1923. The key to understanding these two entities lies first in the mobilisation of scientific forces during the Great war, and then in the context of post-war international scientific collaboration, as well as the institutions being set up in other countries to organise scientific research and experimentation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
