Futuro Remoto 2016
Futuro Remoto reaches the 30th annual appointment: this event is entitled “Costruire” and will be hosted in Piazza Plebiscito, from 7th to 10th October.
It’s Piazza del Plebiscito the place where the “Villaggio della Scienza” will be set up, with 9 thematic islands, offering scientific phenomena, experiments and talks made by illustrious guests like Piero Angela, Samantha Cristoforetti, Giovanni Bignami, Silvia Bencivelli and many others.
Thematic Islands:
Corpo e Mente: Body and Mind (“Corpo e Mente”) are bonded with the concepts of Health and Welfare, and are at the center of attention in all advanced countries: that’s why they have the highest public investments, with major implications in terms of citizen life expectancy and life quality, and the scientific research in the biomedical field, to find new ways to focus on our body and mind. But much remains to be done to ensure a decent level of health and well-being to all the planet Earth inhabitants.
Laboratories:
- October 7th 10:00-22:00: Liliana Dalla Mora e Marina Melone: In-forma il Corpo e il Cervello, at Isola Laboratori Tematici (Laboratory) – The main objective of the activity is too provide an updated information support on healthy lifestyles.
