The Trieste Encounters on Science and Innovation (TESI)

The Trieste Encounters on Science and Innovation (TESI) is an operational tool of the Fondazione Internazionale Trieste to:
  • stimulate innovative proposals for the events that will forerun ESOF2020 Trieste during the years 2018-2020 and the Science in the City Festival.
  • contact and activate contributors with special regard to the North-East of Italy and the enlarged Central and Eastern European areas.
TESI consists in seven subcommittees which cover a wide spectrum of themes and gather representatives of scientific, cultural, economic and political institutions. The coordinators of the sub-Committees form the TESI Local Programme Committee, in charge to promote and guide the development of the programme for the 2018-2020 proESOF events. Each of these consist of 10-15 experts and are supported also by external referees. The TLC Coordinator is Bruno Della Vedova, FIT.

Science to Business: a unique platform in Europe to exchange ideas and good practices on research-driven business models, public private partnerships, the economic developments resulting from technological innovation, future careers and future “new jobs” opportunities. 

Science to Policy: stakeholders, governments, scientists, industry and the general public in the North-East of Italy and in the south east European countries, will be asked to cooperate in a joint effort to ensure reliable, evidence-based policy-making for the benefit of the society as a whole. Possible discussion subjects include the ethical use of scientific knowledge in addressing the great challenges that face humankind, the integrity of science, and science diplomacy in order to build peace and cohesion.

Science to Citizens: it aims to create a scientific citizenship for all and to promote the idea of science as fundamental to problem solving. All activities and events organized in this frame will inspire passion and a collaborative attitude in people, from the very young to the elderly, in order to build a sense of identity and ownership within the field of science.

Science to Communicators: aimed at building a solid network of science communicators active in different fields (from journalism to events organizing, from publishing to corporate communication) across Europe, with a special focus on the Triveneto region and the south east European countries.
