Italy frees research council from 'baroni'
Article Abstract:
Reform of Italy's national research council has been approved by the country's council of ministers. The aim is to reduce the influence that the council's 300 research institutes have over the group of powerful university professors in Italy known as the baroni. The council's administration will be decentralized and the number of research centres will be cut from 320 to fewer than 100, while the agency will lose its small-grant fund status.
