In the 2022 edition, ISASI participated in the European Researchers’ Night with the STREETS project (Science, Technology and Research for Ethical Engagement Translated in Society), coordinated by the University of Naples Federico II. STREETS sees for the first time, in a single network, the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”, the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, the University of Naples L’Orientale, the University of Salerno, the institutes Campania CNR participating in the CREO network, Le Nuvole, with the support of the University of Sannio as an associated partner.
STREETS is a multidisciplinary and intersectoral project which, by immersing itself in everyday reality and on the “streets” of Campania and Southern Lazio, aims to disseminate culture and tell the story of the commitment, ingenuity and passion of researchers.
Rich was the calendar of ISASI activities:
- interactive laboratory “Between light, artificial intelligence and nanotechnologies” by Antigone Marino, Simona de Luca, Angela Tino, Lucia Petti, Claudia Tortiglione, Vito Pagliarulo, Silvia Romano, Roberto Russo, Principia Dardano, Giuseppe Coppola, Maurizio Casalino, Maria Antonietta Ferrara , on September 30 in Naples at the Cloister of Saints Marcellino and Festus, Basilica San Giovanni Maggiore.
- Quantum suggestions, the exhibition born from the Quantum Creativity Competition, banned with the aim of creating creative projects (poems, drawings, etc.) inspired by quantum mechanics. This year’s creations were presented on September 30 in Naples at the Cloister of Saints Marcellino and Festus, Basilica San Giovanni Maggiore. Some authors illustrated and commented on them together with the visitors. The contest is organized by the CNR Institutes: CNR-INO (Simona Mosca, Maria Parisi, Stefania Arminio, Gianluca Notariale), CNR-ISASI (Antigone Marino, Simona De Luca), CNR-SPIN (Alberto Porzio, Mario Barra) in collaboration with UNINA – Department of Physics “Ettore Pancini” (Giovanni Piero Pepe, Francesco Tafuri, Loredana Parlato, Giovanni Ausanio, Halima Giovanna Ahmad).
- Showcases for research, pre-event held in the week of 19 to 24 September 2022 in the Vomero district of Naples and in the week of 26-29 September in the Historic Center of Naples. The windows of some shops hosted informative material on part of the scientific research carried out at ISASI. The Institute’s activities were presented at the Vomero Sound Library and Bibi Children’s Library of the Historic Center (Antigone Marino, Simona de Luca).
- Paths around man from the micro to the macrocosm, held in Torre del Greco from 2 to 8 October. The event saw the creation of a treasure hunt with a historical-scientific theme, held on the week of 3-7 October, at some commercial establishments in Torre del Greco. On 7 October the participants concluded the hunt at the “STECCA” business incubator where they met Antigone Marino to talk about ISASI’s research in the field of optics. On 8 October, again at STECCA, ISASI researchers participated in a day dedicated to scientific dissemination aimed at schools, businesses and citizens with its interactive laboratories (Simona de Luca, Angela Tino, Claudia Tortiglione).
