Maurizio Falanga was a compassionate leader, dedicated to the space sciences, and a true pillar to our institute for 16 years. His enthusiasm and contributions have left a lasting impact on us, on ISSI, and on our community.
Throughout his time at ISSI, Maurizio played a pivotal role in developing the institute over the years and through the pandemic, while never giving up the institute’s core principles. His passion and unwavering commitment to ISSI’s mission inspired us all and remains deeply engrained in the institute itself.
