The new challenges of scientific research, on the edge of knowledge and technology, will be at the center of the Rome Science Festival, which returns to the Auditorium Parco della Musica from 22 to 28 November for its sixteenth edition in hybrid mode, with events online and in person. Also this year the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (Infn), which with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) is among the organizers of the event, contributes to enrich the program with round tables, shows, exhibitions and activities for schools and teachers.
The guest of honor will be the Nobel Prize in Physics Giorgio Parisi, who on 25 November at 9.00 pm will be the protagonist of the event 'Order in chaos' (in Sala Petrassi and streaming on the Festival channels) together with Antonio Zoccoli, president of the Infn, and Luciano Maiani, theoretical physicist of the Sapienza University of Rome and of the Infn.
The week of the Festival will unfold between conferences, dialogues and meetings, moments of in-depth analysis involving researchers from different institutions on frontier issues of basic and applied research: from the origins of the cosmos to gravitational waves, from dark matter to quantum computation, from particle accelerators to synthetic biology.
For the entire duration of the Festival, the Archaeological Foyer of the Auditorium will host the scenographic and immersive exhibition 'Faces and challenges of physics', conceived by the ScienzaPerTutti project of the Infn, in collaboration with Isia Roma Design, dedicated to scientists and scientists of the twentieth century and some of the most important discoveries of modern physics.
Infn is also the protagonist of the Off program of the Festival with the cultural project Three stations for Art-Science hosted by Palazzo delle Esposizioni until February 27, 2022. Produced by the Musica per Roma Foundation, with the design partnership of Codice Edizioni, the Festival delle Sciences di Roma is promoted by Roma Capitale - Department of Cultural Growth, created with ASI and Infn, with the participation of Libraries of Rome and numerous scientific and cultural partners.
