From APS News, July 2016: Indian scientists have made significant contributions to the Fermilab program, so it is natural that India is already taking a very active role in the development of a world-leading neutrino physics research program in the U.S. Fermilab scientist Vladimir Shiltsev co-wrote this article.
The Brazilian user community at Fermilab consists of nearly 80 researchers from 15 institutions working across 13 different projects and experiments.
Physicists up and down the Western Hemisphere are fans of neutrinos, and experiments to study the subtle particle are flourishing at Fermilab and throughout Latin America.
The collaboration between Russian institutions and Fermilab in the 1980s became, for some, a symbol of two competing countries overcoming their differences and working together to move the field of particle physics forward.
From ABC7 News, March 30, 2016 (with video): The Chicago area hosted a special guest Wednesday as Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi toured parts of the city and the suburbs, including Fermilab.
