Dear All,

The 2026 Trieste Maker Faire will take place on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 May in Trieste’s main square, Piazza Unità d’Italia. With the ICTP SciFabLab as a main promoter, the Trieste Maker Faire is co-organised with the municipality, with the support of ICTP, the Comune di Trieste and the Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia.

The whole ICTP SciFabLab will move to downtown Trieste during the event, joined by a cohort of ICTP researchers, led by the Mathematics section, who will take part in the celebrations and entertain passersby with puzzles and games throughout the weekend. 

This Maker Faire will also be the occasion to mark the centennial of ICTP founder Abdus Salam and celebrate his vision. A special session on the life and scientific achievements of Abdus Salam, curated by the ICTP Library, will take place on Saturday 9 May at 16:40 hrs, just before the official opening of the festival.

Find the full programme of the Maker Faire here. We look forward to seeing you in Piazza Unità!
