ICTP, along with Trieste's other research and educational institutes, will participate in a major science festival for the public happening on Friday, 25 September in Trieste.

Known as "Researchers' Night 2009", the event offers a number of activities aimed at bringing science and scientists to the general public. Centred around Piazza Unita', it will include popular science discussion forums featuring several ICTP scientists, science demonstrations, films, games, an art exhibit, and live music by musically gifted researchers, including ICTP's own Joe Niemela.

See the Researchers' Night website (Italian) for full details.
