Fellowships for the Trieste Next International Academy

We are currently working on the calendar of events for the 2024 Edition of Trieste Next. The official program will be available online on this website.

THE 13th EDITION: "THE HORIZONS OF INTELLIGENCE. KNOWLEDGE AND THE HUMAN-TECHNOLOGY FRONTIER". 

Since its first edition in 2012, Trieste Next has aimed at addressing key issues of the scientific and cultural debate: from food resources to water management, from energy to sustainability. The 2024 Edition will offer the chance to outline the scientific agenda for the coming years and propose far-reaching reflections on the new frontiers of research and innovation with a focus on sustainability. Trieste Next will thus be an opportunity to promote a fruitful dialogue between STEM disciplines, humanities and social sciences, with a calendar of over 100 events and the participation of over 300 speakers.

THEMATIC SESSIONS. 

Selected students for the Trieste Next International Academy will have unlimited access to three special sessions on robotics/artificial intelligence, medical sciences and biotechnologies. Each session will kick off with a guided visit to a research centre of international renown and will be followed by a program of 5-6 seminars over the course of 3 days.
