We are excited to announce the launch of our research project, FIREPOL, at  UNIGHT 2024.

We invite you to join our talk, “INCENDI: OLTRE AL FUOCO C’È DI PIÙ!” which is taking place on September 28 at 17:00 at the Musei Reali – Teatro romano, Piazzetta Reale, 1, Torino.

At our scientific cafe, experts from different disciplines will explore and discuss the role of fire from unusual and diverse perspectives. Our panel will include:

Coordinated for the third consecutive year by the University of Turin, U Night is the largest event dedicated to research and will bring the “Night” to Turin and the five cities in the UNITA Alliance: Timisoara, Chambéry, Covilha, and Pau.

UNIGHT promotes the relationship between research and society, stimulating participation and discussion in research processes to jointly tackle the planetary challenges we are facing. We look forward to sharing our project alongside the many diverse research exhibits, activities, and performances.  Join us at the Royal Museums in Turin and participate in the open-air laboratories, scientific cafés, shows and musical performances, and activities for all ages. Stay tuned for more updates as September approaches!
