Fondazione Ugo Bordoni
The Fondazione was founded in 1952 and named after professor Ugo Bordoni, lecturer at the engineering faculty of the university of Rome in the 30's. Since 2009 the Fondazione Bordoni has a new charter that significantly changes its characteristics. With the new charter, the control and management of the Fondazione is assigned to the Public Administration; the Board of Directors is nominated by the Ministry for Economic Development on the basis of designations by the President of the Council of Ministers, the Ministry itself and with the involvement of the President of AGCOM.Representatives of major operators and manufacturers are still involved with the Fondazione as members of the Founders Committee, an organism of the Fondazione itself that plays a significant role for consultancy on strategic addressing. Moreover there is a Scientific Committe composed by higly professional researchers from the academic and research world.With the new charter the Fondazione is therefore subject to public control and management in order to guarantee its characteristic of independence necessary to make available its scientific and technical potential to the Public Administration.
