Internet talk-show with the protagonists of scientific research in Milan

Wednesday November 6th, from 6 to 8 pm

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

Milan is at the core of Italian scientific research. Every day its universities and research centers work with European institutes in range of international projects. Together with fashion industry and design, research is thus an excellence that connect the city to the rest of the world and may represent a relevant incentive for the relaunch of the whole Country. Meanwhile, however, some important research centers are forced to close or reshape, whilst contrasting news raise concerns about public funds for health and basic research.

The event will be the occasion to present a study from Scienceonthenet about the degree of internalization of the resarch that comes from Milan. Such an overview may allow to identify new strategies for the development and the strengthening of the scientific and technologic endowment of the city.

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

di Michele Ciavarella
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.
