Sabato 2 novembre 2013 alle 18.30 al Teatro Miela di Trieste (ingresso libero), si è tenuta la proiezione del film "Maksimovic. La storia di Bruno Pontecorvo", nell'ambito del festival cinematografico "Science Plus Fiction". Ideato da Giuseppe Mussardo, professore della SISSA, il film ripercorre la vita dello scienziato e dell'uomo che ha incarnato le contraddizioni e lo spirito di un secolo tormentato.

The aim of the Gaetano Marzotto Prize is to pinpoint and back the development of new entrepreneurial ideas that can give an answer to the criteria of economic and financial sustainability and, at the same time, generate important and measurable social benefits for the Italian territory.

The competition is open to individuals, project teams, start-up firms, and already established companies. The participants must aim to develop their business ideas into actual undertakings.

La Fondazione Armenise-Harvard annuncia la scomparsa, lo scorso 25 ottobre, del conte Auletta Armenise. Il conte creò la Fondazione Giovanni Armenise-Harvard presso la Harvard Medical School di Boston, la cui mission è quella di sviluppare ricerche nel campo delle scienze biologiche in Italia e negli Stati Uniti, di incoraggiare il rimpatrio dei ricercatori italiani e di attirare nel nostro Paese eccellenti ricercatori stranieri.
