Internet talk-show with the explorers of the third millennium

October 24th, from 6 to 8 pm

Urban Center, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, Milano, MI 20123, Italy

The event, promoted in collaboration with the city of Milan, is an initiative from Scienceonthenet, Gruppo 2003 and Caffè-Scienza Milano, aimed to pay omage to physics and its extraordinary conquests in the last years: from the discovery of the Higgs Boson at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva to the photography of the primordial Universe, taken by the Planck space probe.

Both these international projects involved many Italian researchers, including several from Milan. One more reason to meet some of the protagonists of these studies. They will discuss how scientific exploration are redefining the idea of the Universe where we are living; they will talk about the age of the Cosmos, the Big Bang, the dark matter; they will explain the functioning of those big "machines" that are the international research projects nowadays; they will tell how is a researcher's life.

University Admissions and Talent in China: What Can Italy Learn?

Pubblicato il 08/08/2025

Every year, millions of Chinese students take the Gaokao, an extremely tough exam that can change the course of a life. But what can this system teach us? Between intense pressure and paths to excellence, it offers a chance to reflect on the idea of merit in Italy as well.

Each year, over 12 million Chinese students sit for the Gaokao (高考), one of the most difficult and decisive university entrance exams in the world. This three-day test includes Chinese, Mathematics, English, and one elective subject from either the sciences or humanities. The maximum score varies by province, typically between 750 and 900, with the admission threshold for top universities exceeding 680–700 points. On average, fewer than 2% of students manage to get into elite institutions such as Peking University or Tsinghua University.
