A NEW WORLD
Science, Culture and Innovation
for a Sustainable Future

Since its very first edition, Trieste Next has focused on the key issues of the scientific and cultural debate: food, water, energy, the relationship between mankind and technology, and so on. The 2023 Edition will outline the scientific agenda for the coming years, featuring a widespread debate on the changes needed for a more sustainable future and strengthening the synergies between STEM disciplines, humanities and social sciences.

Trieste Next

With its 2 universities, one science and technology park and over 30 research centres Trieste is undoubtedly an international Capital of Science. Trieste Next is an “observatory” and temporary “laboratory”, an international showcase where state-of-the-art applied research, new technologies and innovative companies meet. Technology transfer is a key factor, since without research and innovation there is no growth nor economic development. Trieste Next thus aims at promoting the importance of partnerships between academia and the private sector.

Academy

A 3-day intensive programme targeting international University students (BA, MA, PhD students as well as recent graduates) with a specific focus on robotics and artificial intelligence, medical sciences and biotechnologies.
