Last week the Ecsite Board met in Naples (Italy) at Città della scienza, two years after a criminal fire destroyed a large part of the science centre's premices. Choosing Città to host its Board meeting is one of the many signs of support Ecsite has been giving over the past months.

Inteviewed by the future journalists training at Città's media school, Ecsite President Rosalia Vargas highlighted the important role of science in contemporary society and praised the dedication, energy and creativity of youths active in science engagement activities. Ecsite Executive Director Catherine Franche, speaking on a local news programme, expressed the nework's admiration for Città, "an example for us all in Europe, for its innovative practices but also for the role it plays in society in general and in the city of Naples in particular".
