CERIC at ESOF2020 / Join our Live Science Talks @ the Science in the City Festival

Date
02.09.2020 - 06.09.2020

Location
online


Visit CERIC, or join us online, at the ERF-AISBL booth at the Science in the City Festival @ ESOF 2020 – Magazzino 28, Porto Vecchio, Trieste (Italy), from 2 to 6 September 2020.

As in every edition of the European Science Open Forum, the Science in the City Festival will address a public of all ages who is curious about science. The Festival is also a great way to experience how science engages, interacts, and builds bridges between researchers, delegates and the public.

CERIC will be contributing to the Festival in the booth of the ERF-AISBL (European Research Facilities Association), with a set of recorded and online/onsite live talks by some of the researchers who benefited from the open access to the CERIC laboratories and instruments, for research in all fields of materials, biomaterials and nanotechnology.

CLICK HERE TO CONNECT and ATTEND THE SCHEDULED LIVE TALKS.

All live talks will also be accessible from the ERF exhibit hall at the Magazzino 28 of the Porto Vecchio in Trieste, in the building of the main Conference Hall, as well as remotely, via Zoom (direct link to the event HERE).

Come to visit us, or stay connected to listen to and interact with our scientists, who will introduce you to their research studies in the fields of environmental sciences, cultural heritage, batteries and energy materials.

Find here the full programme of the ERF contribution to the Science in the City Festival @ESOF2020.

On 2-6 September 2020, the European Science Open Forum will take place in Trieste and online, with several workshops, meetings and sessions focused on some of today’s most urgent societal topics, including climate change and the transition to a green economy as renewable energy replaces fossil. In addition, there will be a number of meetings between the scientific community and policy-makers on the implications of the Coronavirus on public health, economics and communication.

The event will be divided into three main topical domains: the Science Programme dedicated to frontier research and its implications for society; the Science to Business Programme focusing on the relationship between science and the business world; and the Science to Careers Programme covering job and career opportunities for the future.

As in every ESOF edition, the Science in the City Festival will address a public of all ages who is curious about science and technology. It is one of the largest public engagement in science and technology events in Europe.
