Embassy of Italy in Australia

On the 29th of this month, #PaoloGiordano will present his last novel #Tasmania (2022) at the Harry Hartog Bookseller at The Australian National University, within the celebration of the Week of the Italian Language. Paolo Giordano, before undertaking a carrier as a novelist, studied physics and got a PhD in particle physics at the Università degli Studi di Torino, co-authoring several scientific publications. In this novel, which is partially autobiographic, he talks about the future and the fear of losing control. The crisis it narrates affects not just a couple, or a generation, but the whole world and our planet. In the book he touches also several point that may be of interest of a scientist, such as gender gap in science, the role of a scientist in the society, science popularization, the struggle to get public appraisal in science that sometimes may interfere with scientific rigor and quality. As a scientist I found interesting reading a novel that speaks of the everyday life of scientists. book a seat at: https://lnkd.in/d7b8xvEc Looking forward to meeting you there Embassy of Italy in Australia Ministero della Cultura Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale #SettimanaDellaLinguaItalianaNelMondo2024 #SLIM #DiplomaziaCulturale #DiplomaziaScientifica #ScienceDiplomacy

#AmerigoVespucci left Darwin last Monday, leaving beautiful memories to all those who had the opportunity to be involved in one of the many events organized during this long weekend. Science was at the core of Sunday afternoon program of the #VillaggioItalia #Darwin with the workshop on Marine Ecosystems organized by the Embassy of Italy in Australia, with the support of Difesa Servizi S.p.A. Eleven scientific leaders from Italy and Australia discussed on oceanography, marine ecosystems and of investment science infrastructures, highlighting the importance of cross border cooperation. Because science is intrinsically universal and there are no natural borders offshore. The sailing ship Amerigo Vespucci, ambassador of Italy, is also a testimonial of science. Together with other grey vessel of the the Marina Militare - the Italian Navy, Vespucci regularly host scientists on board, and some of them came personally to Darwin, to talk about their experience on board before sailing again toward Singapore. We have been honored to host in the audience the deputy chancellor for research and innovation of Charles Darwin University prof Steve Rogers. #WeAreVespucci #TourVespucci #NaveVepuscci #ScienceDiplomacy #DiplomaziaScientifica Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale, Ministero della Difesa Fabrice Jaine, Dr Paola A.

Today at the Parliament House, 🇪🇺 Ambassadors, together with the Attorney-General the Hon Mark Dreyfus KC, Foreign Minister the Hon Penny Wong, and AFP Assistant Commissioner David McLeanand, marked 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆. The death penalty does not make societies safer. It makes miscarriages of justice irreversible. Last year, the number of countries that carried out executions reached the lowest figure on record. Despite this trend towards abolition, the death penalty is still carried out in a number of countries, including in the Asia-Pacific region. We stand united with our like-minded Australian partners in opposing the death penalty in all cases and in all circumstances. The death penalty is a relic of the past which should have no place in the 21st century. It has to be abolished now. #EU4HumanRights Gabriele Visentin, European External Action Service, European Commission, European Parliament, Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
