ESOF 2010
On the occasion of the EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF) Turin 2010, Zonta Club Moncalieri and Zonta Club Torino II presented a grant to two young women researchers from Bulgaria.
Maya Rashkova and Ergyul Tair received this grant, which allowed them to take part in ESOF, in presence of Governor Maria Stefanova.
ABOUT ESOF
For too long, Europe was lacking an indipendent arena for open dialogue on the role of all the sciences, including the humanities, in society. We have it now with the EUROSCIENCE OPEN FORUM. The initiative wa created in 1998 by the researchers themselves: ESOF was brought to life by Euroscience.
The ESOF Concept
ESOF is not an ordinary scientific conference but a totally new concept. It consists of a Forum for discussion of topical issues, an embedded conference (with an exhibition) and an outreach programme, with a large number of events and happenings throughout the ESOF host city.
ESOF also serves as a young scientists'forum, encouraging students, PhD students and post-docs to share their experience and partecipate in debats.
ESOF's aims are:
- present scientific and technological developments at the the cutting edge in all their variety from natural sciences to the social sciences and the humanities
-stimulate the public's awareness of and interest in science and technology
-foster and international dialogue on science and technology, society and policy by offering a platform for cross-disciplinary intteraction and communication on current trends and future roads for science and technology, their interaction with society and policy and the role of the public.
For ESOF 2010 The Programme Committee has chosen ten main themes as a focus for debate:
- Sustainable living and moving
- Evolution, development and adaptation of organisms
- Moving into and up from our quantum world
- Responding to global needs
- Frontiers in energy research
- Science, knowledge and belief
- Memory and learning in organisms, social and artificial systems
- Languages, cultures and variability
- Integrating science with health care
- Policy: what fallows?
In 2012 ESOF will be held in Dublin, Ireland
