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.
