Unconference on the Einstein Telescope

Multi-voice conversation between gravitational waves, black holes and literature. In collaboration with the local section of AIF (Association of Physics Teachers), and the theater company La Botte e il Cilindro, physicist and popularizer Gian Nicola Cabizza will present six excerpts from Italo Calvino's The Cosmicomics. Each excerpt offers the cue for a couple of questions on the subject of Gravitational Waves, Relativity and Einstein Telescope to the physicists from Sassati University and INFN in attendance.

Microorganisms: so small, so big

Referee: Marilena Budroni (UNISS - Dept. of Agriculture)

Microorganisms are by far the most numerically abundant living things in any terrestrial habitat. They exert profound effects on the functioning of ecosystems and thus on the health of our planet and are, among other things, the main actors in food transformations. It is therefore essential to know and preserve them both for the maintenance of natural ecosystems and for their applications in food.

During the cocktail hour, pivotal concepts in HIV prevention will be explored, then opening to discussion. The meeting, in a relaxed and informal setting, is intended to be a magnifying glass on three pivotal concepts in HIV prevention: U=U (Undetectable =Untransmittable, i.e., positivə=uninfectivə), TASP (Treatment as Prevention) and PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis).

Artificial Intelligence in our lives. Play and decide!

Referees: Marinella Cadoni, Pietro Ruiu (UNISS - Dept. of Biomedical Sciences)        

Discussion game animated and facilitated by researchers from the UNISS computer engineering degree program. During the aperitif, participants will be able to reflect in small groups on current Artificial Intelligence topics in a fun and informal context, developing (or changing) their own opinion based on truthful information, considering the complexity of the topics discussed. The researchers present will provide information and data, without influencing participants' opinions. At the end of the game, UNISS and Abinsula researchers will briefly present some of the most interesting and current applications of AI in which they are directly involved.
 

Partner: Abinsula
