The purpose of the Scientific and Technological Culture Week is to mobilize all the skills and energies of the country to encourage the most widespread diffusion of a solid and critical technical-scientific culture. In particular, the Week stimulates the opening of effective communication and exchange channels between the universe of civil society on one side, and the complex structure of the Research System (university , public and private research institutions, museums, companies, associations, etc.), on the other one.
It is also the tool to experiment and promote the ambitious project developed and supported by MIUR to create a national system of permanent institutions (museums, centers and cities of science and technology, universities, academies, etc.), engaged in the task to guarantee citizens up-to-date and certified technical-scientific information, while at the same time enhancing the technical-scientific heritage of which our country is very rich.
