From 27 to 29 September, the Festival of Scientific Research is back in Trieste with a programme of over 100 events in Italian and English, 300 speakers and great international guests. The 13th edition of Trieste Next is dedicated to ‘The Horizons of Intelligence. Knowledge between human beings and technologies’ and will include the award of the second edition of the Science Book of the Year Prize.
On Friday 27 September the programme is also enriched by the activities organised by Sharper - the European Researchers' Night.
SISSA is once again this year among the promoters of Trieste Next and among the partners of the European Researchers' Night.
During the three days, the School is present with two round tables, an event in collaboration with Scienza e Virgola and a show on particle physics. It is also in Piazza Unità with a joint stand with ICTP, where activities for schools by SISSAforSchools (on Friday morning only) and for people of all ages will take place. See details below.
