INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS
Prof. Livi has been visiting several research centers and institutions
as an invited researcher. Short-term visits ( too many to be worth listing)
have been made in some of the main research centers in the world, with
activities in his field of interest.
For what concerns long-term visits (of the order of several months) his first
on-leave was as a NATO-Fellow at the Department
of Theoretical Physics of the University of Edinburgh (Scotland) in 1982.
From that time on he has been visiting the Universidad Nacional Autonoma
in Mexico City, the Institute des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques in Paris,
the Departement de Physique Theorique de l' Universite' de Geneve
(Swiss), the Departement de Physique Theorique de l' Ecole Polytechnique
Federale de Lausanne (Swiss), the Centre de Physique Theorique
du CNRS in Luminy (Marseille, France), the Max-Planck-Institut fur
Complexer Systeme in Dresden (Germany), the Weizmann Institute of Sciences
in Rehovot (Israel), the Department of Physics of the University of Potsdam
(Germany).
PARTICIPATION TO SCHOOLS, CONFERENCES AND MEETINGS
Prof. Livi has participated to almost seventy international conferences
and workshops as invited speaker all over the world.
