The first workshop of the International School Science & Diplomacy opened this year at the Ettore Majorana Foundation, Foundation and Center for Science and Culture, created by Antonino Zichicihi in 1963 for dialogue between scientists behind the Iron Curtain. On the occasion of the anniversary of the foundation of the Center, in November 2023, at the conference of the Directors of all the international schools, this latest school was opened, a novelty at a national and international level because, starting from international history, and involving witnesses of the recent past and actors of the present time, investigates the dynamics of techno-scientific diplomacy with a strong interaction with students engaged in experimenting with a storytelling laboratory on the historical case of Halley’s Comet Armada and a wargame dedicated to the Mediterranean. The University of Padua will publish a call for some scholarships.
Directors:
- David Burigana (University of Padua)
- Virginia Coda Nunziante (Head of International Relations of the CNR)
- Pascal Griset (Université Paris Sorbonne)
- Giacinto Ottavia (President of the Center for Advanced Defense Studies)
- Umberto Vattani (President of the Venice International University
All useful information on the programme will be available on its website.
Deadline for registration: August 4, 2024
