*2015 TRIESTE MINI MAKER FAIRE, TSMMF

*In May 2014, the ICTP organized the first TRIESTE MINI MAKER FAIRE 
(TSMMF),  in collaboration with Maker Media Inc. and the Immaginario 
Scientifico Science Centre.
It was a major, entertaining event and about 7.000 visitors attended. On 
the website of Maker Media, our event is listed among the more 
successful ones.


It has been decided to organize the 2015 TRIESTE MINI MAKER FAIRE over 
two days, to allow the visitors to spend more time at the stands and for 
more visitors to come. In addition to the collaboration with Maker Media 
Inc., the Immaginario Scientifico and with Il Piccolo as media partner, 
the Region, Province, Comune and AREA Science Park contribute to the event.

the Euler area.
