While in Copenhagen i met some Italians who had ISPRA written on their badges. The week before I had visited JRC in Ispra, so I asked them "a-ah, you're from Ispra, what do you do at JRC?". Turns out they weren't from Ispra. ISPRA is the national geological survey in Italy. Just happens to have an acronym that's the same as a town which houses a huge research centre where quite a lot of geologists work. A bit like if the Norwegian survey (based in Trondheim) had the acronym OSLO.
