The event
In an age marked by artificial intelligence, global crises and unprecedented scientific transformations, Maria Chiara Carrozza invites us to reflect on what it means today to invest in research and knowledge.
Drawing on her experience as a researcher and as a key figure in scientific institutions, from experimental physics to biorobotics, she explores the many values of knowledge, cultural, economic, democratic and human, and speaks above all to the younger generations, called upon to build a new pact between knowledge and society.
In conversation with Silvia Bencivelli, science journalist, writer and radio and television presenter.
Maria Chiara Carrozza
Full Professor of Bioengineering and Biorobotics at the University of Milan-Bicocca. She was the first woman President of the CNR, Minister for Education, Universities and Research and Rector of the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa.
In collaboration with
