FRASCATI SCIENZA
Frascati Scienza association aims to share spaces and faces of Science, empowering participation to Research as common good and the literacy to scientific citizenship. The Lazio Region, the Province of Rome, the municipalities of Rome, Frascati and the Tusculum area are perfect for the association’s mission: facilitating the exchange of experiences and results among researchers and citizens; stimulating the curiosity of the general public and young people experiencing the thrill of discovery; and motivating young people to embark on research car Frascati Scienza since 2006 organizes the European Researchers Night, a public event funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA), dedicated to bringing researchers closer to the public.
