TWAS - Paolo Budinich and the dream of science in the South

[Infopoint]

*TWAS - Paolo Budinich and the dream of science in the South.*

Who was Paolo Budinich and what is the legacy he left to TWAS and, more 
broadly, to the Trieste System?

These questions will be the focus of a public event that The World 
Academy of Sciences – TWAS – has organized to celebrate the centennial 
of Paolo Budinich's birth.


The event will be held tomorrow, Friday 2 September, at 18:00 in Sala 
Veruda, Palazzo Costanzi, immediately behind Piazza Unita'. TWAS 
Executive Director Mohamed H.A. Hassan and ICTP/SISSA physicist Erio 
Tosatti will remember Budinich and his passion for science.

The free event, both in Italian and English, is titled: *TWAS – Paolo 
Budinich and the dream of science in the South. *It will**offer a 
portrait of Budinich's work and life, shedding light on events that have 
shaped the emergence of Trieste as a global capital of science and an 
enduring partner to science in the developing world.
