…Meanwhile… We have learned that Napoleon was not poisoned… …and CO 2 is not responsible for Global Warming !!!
Conclusions & Reflections After this fruitful week it appears evident the importance of Multifrequency astrophysics ...... and Multienergy particle physics ...... Multisite neutrino & gravitational wave astronomy …… But 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.

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 once 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 opportunities 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!
