UNITING MINDS: STORIES OF GLOBAL SCIENCE

A century after Abdus Salam’s birth, his vision of science as a shared human endeavour remains crucial. Together with Paolo Budinich, Salam imagined a place where scientists from across the world could meet, learn and collaborate. Since its founding in 1964, ICTP has changed the lives of thousands of researchers in the Global South. Through the testimonies of ICTP scientists and stories from the documentary “Budinich, il pirata della scienza”, the panel will explore the enduring value of global scientific cooperation and the role of ICTP in ensuring that science remains a uniting force.
