PASTANDFUTURE · Searching into the past looking at the future

Last year Dicocom organized the Neapolitan researchers’ night in the ancient centre of Naples,with the VEGAN project.This year we want to follow the same approach to give continuity to the event, also because we’ld like that the researchers’ night turn into a fix appointment for Naples, for this reason we decided to focus our project on the research between the past and the future and propose the same location:piazza Dante.Our project is based on the binomial research in the past/research for the future,we have from one side all the disciplines linked to archaeology,conservation and promotion of cultural heritage and the re-proposal of last year simulated excavation for children. In this context we intend to twin the event with others in the domain of cultural heritage: the exhibition realised in the frame of a Culture2000project and the launch of the ancient monastic complex of Cimitile.The other side is represented by scientific research focused on the future, in this context we tried to collect all the main Campanian research centres, from Universities to the CRC to the CNR to the National Astrophysics Institute to the association “women in research”organised.Moreover we will organise the Competition Draw a Researcher with an exhibition that will be held in the Monastic Citadel of Suor Orsola Benincasa University and another in the monastic complex of Cimitile.The main objective of this researchers’ night is to realise an event focused on the discovery,the fun and stay all together,with the maximum of participation to give to Neapolitan researchers the occasion to go in “piazza” and celebrate!Our aim is that researchers have an occasion to play with their knowledge involving people, to talk and dialogue with them to share their passion, that the researchers could demonstrate to everybody throughout scientific, amusing and divulgation activities that the research work doesn’t alienate, doesn’t isolate doesn’t get people like laboratory rats,at the contrary
