The event “Settimane della Scienza” is coming back to Torino and the surrounding district, with its two meeting- filled months dedicated to familiarize attendees to science and its protagonists.

The scheduled events are many, with over 40 Piedmont-based institutions, departments, museums and organizations participating even during this out-of-the-ordinary summer. They have chosen to keep meeting their audiences “live” in open-air spaces and in full compliance with safety measures, involving visitors in activities and formats tailored to their curiosity. Everyone involved shares the strong wish to physically “be there”, in order to share not only online
experiences, but also valuable meeting moments once again, so that this summer in our city can turn into an opportunity to promote science and discovery.
It is paramount, now more than ever, that we all consistently act according to what was established by the General Assembly of the United Nations with their 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which has set worldwide guidelines regarding the activities to be pursued in the upcoming years.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in it encompass several facets of social, economic, environmental and institutional development, all of which mutually influence one another. It is crucial to pay attention to the processes accompanying this development and to especially endorse those who could encourage a sustainable growth, from a global to a local level. This includes international cooperation and partnerships to be activated not only within the context of politics and institutions, but also within the private sphere, involving individual citizens.

Taking this particular context into account, “Settimane della Scienza” is an opportunity to show off the scientific, technological and cultural excellency deeply rooted all throughout Piedmont – a network born to encourage information exchange with the general audience. It is essential to create meaningful, frequent occasions of dialogue with our citizens, as is creating learning opportunities open to everyone and reaffirming the crucial importance of information and of spreading knowledge in order to boost the progress of our society.

From 0 to 99 years of age, you will find a meaty calendar filled with meetings fit for all ages.
