Four weeks after arson destroyed Città della Scienza in Naples, Italy, an event was held 9 April 2013 at European Parliament, Brussels, Belgium, to raise awareness among institutions and opinion leaders and declare a desire to reconstruct Città. The proceedings were packed with people – many of whom traveled from Italy to show support for Città.
Vice-President of Ecsite, Brigitte Coutant, Universcience, Paris, spoke briefly at the event to show support for Città on behalf of Ecsite.
The Ecsite network is eager to learn what’s next for Città della Scienza following the fire of 4 March 2013. Here, Anne-Marie Bruyas, head of International Relations, Fondazione IDIS-Città della Scienza, answers some important questions about the difficult present and hopes for the future.
I’m a Scientist, Get me out of Here! has been running successfully in the UK since 2008 and more recently also in Ireland and Australia. There could be possibilities to bring this project to other locations. Here’s the contact information for any Ecsite members who may be interested in pursuing a collaboration with this project: http://imascientist.org.uk/help
This is the main idea behind the project:
I’m a Scientist, Get me out of Here! is an online event where school students get to meet and interact with scientists.
Views, Opinions and Ideas of Citizens in Europe on Science (VOICES) is a one-year-long EU-funded project coordinated by Ecsite which has particularly innovative and challenging objectives.
We want to see you at Modeling cities of scientific culture, Torino, Italy, 20-21 June 2013.
We will be welcoming all PLACES City Partnerships and regions, plus new participants who want cooperate with us in defining the city of scientific culture. New participants – a science communicator accompanied by a local-level policymaker – are invited to Torino to share their knowledge and also learn from the PLACES community. Find out more – and register online! – at www.openplaces.eu/conference
