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

Known as "Researchers' Night 2009", the event offered a number of activities aimed at bringing science and scientists to the general public. Centred around Piazza Unita, it included 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.

Photos of the event are now available online by clicking here.

The Public Information Office has also posted a smaller collection of photos in the Leonardo Building, in front of the Reading Room.
