Festival and Public Events

from08 November 2016 to 13 November 2016

As usual, this year INAF-OAC is actively participating in the activities of the 9th edition of the Cagliari Festival Scienza.

This year, the theme of the Festival, created to present science in a simple and engaging way, showing how scientific culture, as a whole, is an integral and essential part of contemporary culture, is “Science that unites people“.
