Festival delle Scienze 2025

From 8 to 13 April, the 20th edition of the Rome Science Festival returns to the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone.

This year’s theme, “Corpi – Bodies”, explores the many dimensions of corporeality: from human bodies, with their shapes, functions, and transformations, to animal and plant bodies, microscopic entities such as viruses and bacteria, celestial bodies, and, thanks to technological advancements, hybrid and mechanical entities like robots and automatons.

GARR provides a contribution on the importance of digital infrastructures supporting researchers in multidisciplinary collaborations and on the promising frontiers of sensing research, specifically the unconventional use of optical fibre as an environmental sensor.

The participation of GARR

Saturday 12th April at 12:00

Conference: "Il mare che ascolta e racconta. Esplorare il pianeta e il cosmo attraverso il monitoraggio degli oceani - The sea that listens and tells. Exploring the planet and the cosmos through ocean monitoring"
In the ocean depths, far from the light and noise of the surface, a network of electronic eyes and ears surveys the unknown. Its task? To listen to the sea, monitoring climate change, biodiversity, and ecosystems. But as they explore the depths, these marine observers also pick up signals from space, collecting valuable data about the universe.
Unique observers, windows to the cosmos, and laboratories for exploring the oceans, they serve as a bridge between the heart of the sea and the infinity of space.

Speakers include Paolo Bolletta, GARR optical infrastructure expert, Fabrizio Bocchino, Researcher at the INAF Palermo Astronomical Observatory, Luigi Antonio Fusco, Professor at the University of Salerno and associate at INFN – Naples Section, Giuditta Marinaro, Senior Technologist at INGV, coordinator of international activities for EMSO-ERIC and responsible for research on Geosphere-Ocean-Atmosphere interactions. The session is moderated by science journalist and communicator Giorgia Burzachechi
