The Italian final of FameLab Italia, together with the FameLab All Star event, will take place on Monday 31 August 2020 in Trieste at the Rossetti Theatre.

ICTP staff are encouraged to attend and support ICTP participant Pierre Fromholz, a postdoc in the Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics section, who was one of the winners of the local Famelab competition held last February in Trieste.

At the Monday event, Fromholz, along with the winners of the Italian local selections, which were held in 15 cities, will challenge each other to see who is best able to tell a scientific topic in 3 minutes, in a clear, engaging, precise way.

It will also be an opportunity to see some of the best competitors of past editions on stage, with the FameLab All Star event.

The event will take place in compliance with all safety regulations in force for Covid. Admission is free with reservations required (see registration links below).

The event is part of the ESOF Trieste 2020 Science in the City Festival.
