Festival della Scienza - 150 e oltre

The Science Festival

It’s a benchmark for the science communication. It’s a chance of meeting for researchers, people keen on science, schools and families. It’s a main international event of science dissemination. An appointment for everybody. Lectures, exhibits, workshops, special events and shows for talking about science with an innovative and involving approach, with interactive events and crosscurrent ones. 10 days where the barriers among mathematics, humanities and natural science will be crashed and will be possible to get in touch with the research, to see it and to take part of it. A new paradigma. Each year the Festival proposes events inspired by the most contemporary and burning questions. Opening theatre shows and never sen exhibitions dedicated to the meeting point between Art and Science, with a particular focus on the novelties of the most advanced research and the researchers from the emerging countries. The Festival was born as an international and global event, deeply connected with Genova and the Regione Liguria. Every year the guests from all over the world enrich those days dedicated to the science.

2011: 150 and beyond

In the year of the 150th anniversary of Italy’s unification, the Genoa Science Festival aims at presenting a wide array of hints, experiences and excellences of the recent past able to project Knowledge into the future, into the next 150 years. Far from just being a mere historical celebration, the Genoa Science Festival is to sketch future scenarios, going back to the roots of Science, Research and Technology to build up the New World. In particular the Genoa Science Festival plans to spot on Young Excellence, giving the floor to scientists and researchers who, either in Italy or abroad, are fully committed in developing knowledge and research-based contents; the partnership with the U.S.A., started in 2010, perfectly fits in this frame, as this is the country where many and many talents from all over the world migrate to, hosted in universities and research labs.No change in the Science Festival’s philosophy: making science accessible to anyone by proposing a wide variety of topics as well as a "hands on" approach allowing for the active participation of our public, made of people of any age and including children, students, researchers and experts.
