IVA would like to announce that the Academy does not support the messages conveyed at the conference at IVA Conference Centre on 24 November 2017 attended by, among others, Andrea Rossi.

IVA is an academy that promotes science. IVA also runs a conference centre https://ivakonferens.se/ which is open to companies, organisations and individuals. The IVA Conference Centre conducts background checks on those who book conferences rooms and also, to the extent possible, checks programmes to ensure that any messages conveyed are not contrary to IVA’s mission, which is "to promote the engineering and economic sciences and the advancement of business and industry for the benefit of society". In this case IVA would like to clearly state that the Academy does not in any way support the messages conveyed at the conference in question.
