    Internship
In summary, the conversation was about a joint program between the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Italy and the US Department of Energy. The person speaking was accepted into the program but had no prior knowledge about it. They were curious if anyone had any experience or information about the program or the institute. Another person responded with a greeting in Italian, but admitted they had no information on the program. In the end, they wished the first person good luck and mentioned that Italy does not have nuclear reactors.

(This stands for National Institute for Nuclear Physics - Italy/US Department of Energy, it's a joint program). I applied and I was accepted, but I really don't know anything about this. It does sound rather exciting to go to Italy, but since it's a pretty big move i'd like to know if anyone has any prior experience/knowledge of this program, or even of the institute involved. Honest answers/further info would be greatly appreciated.:smile:

That's a bit weird considering Italy has no nuclear reactors.

But good luck! It should be fun whatever you do :)

Btw, the above isn't proper Italian. Italy should be a great place to stay in but I have no info on the program.
