Expositions, flash presentations, videos and interactive applications: from Particle Physics to Environment Protection, from Robotics to Planetology, Astrophysics and Space Sciences, from Climate Change studies to Arctic research and Gravitational Waves detection
Italy: the Beauty of Science.
Research, knowledge, innovation.
It is the title of the boot organized by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) at WCSJ2019 – World Conference of Science Journalists in Lausanne (1-5 July, 2019), Exhibition Area, boot 4-5.
The boot hosts expositions of seven Italian research Institutes that provide focuses on specific and innovative aspects of their scientific research:
CMCC – CENTRO EURO-MEDITERRANEO SUI CAMBIAMENTI CLIMATICI
High Resolution Models and Analysis: climate solutions and situational sea awareness
CNR – CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE PER LE RICERCHE
Robotic scale reproduction of Shark, an unmanned semi-submersible vehicle for polar marine research
GSSI – GRAN SASSO SCIENCE INSTITUTE
IIT – ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI TECNOLOGIA
Hannes is the myo-electric controlled, polyarticulated, robotic hand prosthesis made by the joint lab Rehab Technologies
INAF – ISTITUTO NAZIONALE DI ASTROFISICA
The sky in your hands: The Moon, Venus and Mars
INFN – ISTITUTO NAZIONALE DI FISICA NUCLEARE
