PROSPECTS

…Meanwhile… We have learned that Napoleon was not poisoned… …and CO2 is not responsible for Global Warming !!!

There are many problems in performing Simultaneous Multifrequency, Multienergy Multisite, Multiinstrument, Multiplatform Measurements due to:

• 1. objective technological difficulties;
• 2. sharing common scientific objectives;
• 3. problems of scheduling and budgets;
• 4. politic management of science.

After this fruitful week it appears evident the importance of Multifrequency astrophysics ...... and Multienergy particle physics ...... Multisite neutrino & gravitational wave astronomy …… But

Conclusions & Reflections

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

It is my pleasure to thank (also on behalf of

Particular warm thanks to:

• ALL SPEAKERS, who rendered interesting

this workshop.

• ALL PARTICIPANTS, who rendered alive

the workshop with their question-answers, and for the friendly atmosphere.

• The FOUR COLLEAGUES and FRIENDS who kindly

accepted the not easy task of making the concluding remarks of the workshop.

• Many thanks also to:

 Lisa Colosimo & Flavia Giovannelli  Alessandro Perpich & Valentina Usai

• Finally, many thanks to:

 The staff of the EOLIAN Hotel apart from many logistic problems not dependent on their will

During this fruitful workshop, we hope to have demonstrated

• nce more the

“Vulcano Theorem” enunciated in 1984 in my concluding address:

It is possible to develop science seriously even if

smiling.

Conclusions

“The one who has many friends has greater

• pportunities for growth.

In this way, one both makes society a better place, and lives happier and more satisfied. In all cases, human relations, inter-personal interaction and communication are of vital importance. We must establish and nurture friendship and contacts with many people, both in our environment, and in society in general.

In this manner our life will open up and will flourish”.

[Daisaku Ikeda, in “For Today and Tomorrow”, thought of 30th May, Soka Gakkai, 1999]

Many Thanks for Your Attention See you in Vulcano next time!
