The Campagna conference consists of morning talks (35’), discussion sessions (1h-1.5h), special talks, posters session, and additional activities (outreach, excursions, musical concert). 

The list of posters that will be presented by PhD students and early postdocs can be found here.

On Thursday, June 26th at 17:00, the figure of Giordano Bruno, who lived and celebrated his first mass in Campagna around 1573, will be celebrated with the Giordano Bruno Seminar by the Nobel Laureate Didier Queloz.

This event is also part of the "Campagna Science Week" and is open to both conference participants and the general public.

Bruno can be considerd the first true cosmologist thanks to his cosmological theories, in particular, he is one of the pioneers of the idea of cosmic pluralism. We like to say that in some way the discovery of the first exoplanet orbiting a sun-like star by Didier Queloz in 1995 confirmed Bruno's theories about the existence of other worlds similar to ours outside the planet Earth.

On Tuesday, June 24th at 18:00, the figure of Juan Caramuel, bishop of the diocese of Campagna from 1657 to 1673, will be presented and used as a springboard for an outreach activity in the fields of mathematics, physics and computer science. 

This event is part of the "Campagna Science Week" and will be held in Italian to reach the general public and avoid any possible language barriers. All conference participants are welcome and we hope to see many of them.

Caramuel is considered the first mathematician to have ever published a reasoned study of the binary number system as we understand it today. His pioneering studies are part of the mathematical opera "Mathesis biceps. Vetus, et nova" (Two parts of mathematics. The old, and the new) that was published in Campagna in 1670.

On Tuesday, June 24th at 20:30, there will be a musical concert of traditional Neapolitan songs by the "Banda Scientifica" ("Science band").

One of the aims of this event is to make known, through music and words, part of our culture and traditions to all the participants of the conference. 

Before each musical performance, the presenter will explain in English the meaning of each song, so that the audience can fully enjoy this journey through repertoire pieces ranging from the 17th to the 20th century.

We hope that all conference participants will attend and fully enjoy the concert.
