Round out your knowledge

Milano is a fascinating city, but many of its beauties are hidden. The three meetings will allow you to deep-dive into the context of Milano and hopefully discover some new places and features that the city has to offer.

The first meeting will be dedicated to an overview of the city and its different neighborhoods, with their characteristics and peculiarities. The second one will be dedicated to itineraries and hidden gems of the city. Lastly, the third meeting will be an outdoor activity at the discovery of a special place in Milano. If you want to know where we will be going, do not miss it!

Big questions from quantum physics to Einstein’s relativity to thrive in the world of tomorrow.
What are space, time and energy? What are the challenges that physicists are facing to understand fundamental phenomena in nature in the infinitely small, the immensely large or the utterly complex? We shall discuss a selection of topics such as E=mc², black holes, and the physics behind Interstellar, to stimulate curiosity and to provide basic knowledge that can be useful to comfortably gravitate our rapidly evolving world.

Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur and leader, a curious explorer of the universe, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of the world around you, "Gravitating the Cosmos" will ignite your curiosity and promote a strategic scientific mindset.

Structure:
The course will be structured in 4 lectures of 1.5 hours that will include some virtual lab activity (RelativitApp, ScienceClic movies and other selected online resources).
