*Homage to Paolo Budinich at the Immaginario Scientifico Science Centre

*

/Saturday, November 14th IS commemorates the physicist and founding 
father of the Science Centre.
Morning free admission to the museum and a special activity for families 
at 11.00 am/

*A special morning, for families to work and experiment together, having 
fun in experiencing the pleasure of discovery. This is how Saturday, 
November 14th, Immaginario Scientifico pays tribute to Prof. Paolo 
Budinich (28th August 1916 - 14th November 2013), two years after his 
death. To commemorate its founding father, the science center in Trieste 
will be open to the public free of charge, from 10.00 am to 1 pm. At 
11.00 am, families with children over 10 years can participate in the 
free workshop "In full sail" *

Remembering Budinich's two great passions, namely Physics and Sailing, 
in this workshop the families that have reservedwill become creative 
scientists, trying to find out togetherhow a sailboat is carried by the 
wind and floats on the sea according to the laws of physics.

/Budinich has always firmly believed in his Immaginario Scientifico and 
in its goal to spread scientific literacy, accompanying him through the 
joys and the difficulties to achieve it. Thanks to his consistent drive, 
the Immaginario, after the 1986 exhibition at La Villette in Paris, has 
grown into a science museum, which now has 5 branches in the Friuli 
Venezia Giulia Region./

/The extraordinary energy and intellectual vitality of the professor -- 
joined the enlightened conviction that through science and science 
popularisation individuals can get their emancipation, communities 
progress and peoples unite -- have left their indelible mark on those 
who collaborated with him, and still inspire goals and choices of the 
Immaginario Scientifico./

/*Who was Paolo Budinich*/

/Prof. Paolo Budinich was one of the first promoters of Trieste as a 
science resort renown at international level as Trieste system. In 1964 
he founded in Trieste, together with Abdus Salam, the ICTP International 
Centre for Theoretical Physics. He also promoted and was the first 
director of SISSA (Advanced School of Physics, that in 1978 was upgraded 
to the School for Higher Studies). He was also among the promoters of 
AREA Science Park, particularly for the Elettra Synchrotron in the 
Basovizza campus and the International Centre for Genetic Engineering 
and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in the Padriciano campus, not to mention the 
administrative bodies created to achieve these objectives, such as the 
CF (Consorzio per la Fisica - Consortium for Physics) and the FIT 
(Fondazione Internazionale Trieste per il Progresso e la Libertà delle 
Scienze - Trieste International Foundation for the Progress and Freedom 
of Science)./
