The third edition of Trieste Science & the City has been organised by ICGEB Trieste and the Italian National broadcasting company RAI. The project was funded by the FVG Region, Italy and co-organised with the City of Trieste.
This year’s topics included episodes on the certainties and fears surrounding Vaccinations, GMOs: what’s happening around the world, aging, and genetic manipulation, with three international experts participating in each event.
