THEATRE SHOW

Scienziate Visionarie ta2

DISCOVER MORE ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE (pdf)

"Slow Science" presenta un'opportunità per parlare di crisi ambientali e sociali che richiedono narrazioni che vadano oltre dati e teorie, abbracciando nuove visioni: “Scienziate Visionarie” esplora questi temi raccontando scienziate che hanno affrontato sfide globali legate ad ambiente e salute. 

Dalle fabbriche alle foreste, dall’evoluzione alle discariche, dal nucleare alle guerre, queste donne hanno trasformato la ricerca, sfidando le convenzioni e ridefinendo il panorama scientifico.

Chair: in definition

On 17 September, during NanoInnovation 2025, the worlds of cutting-edge research and visionary entrepreneurship will converge in a special event born from the collaboration between iENTRANCE and Rome Future Week. This unique meeting will connect the energy of young innovators, the strength of advanced research infrastructures, and the creativity of start-ups committed to sustainability, digital transformation, and the energy transition. Participants will explore how multidisciplinary collaboration can accelerate innovation, inspire new generations, and generate real-world impact—transforming ideas into solutions for a smarter and greener future.
The session will open with a welcome to the Rome Future Week community, followed by an inspirational talk to spark fresh perspectives on the evolving nature of research and innovation. A panel discussion will then bring together researchers, start-up founders, and investment voices, sharing experiences from deep-tech development to sustainable mobility, from AI-driven public services to the role of infrastructures in de-risking and scaling transformative projects. The meeting will conclude as a networking moment, encouraging dialogue and new connections between science, technology, and entrepreneurship.
