Festival bookshop - piazza de Ferrari
The authors represented at the Festival of Science will be on hand at the bookshop to sign copies of their books, at times to be communicated. The calendar of meetings can be consulted at the Information point.


Animators
500 scientific animators, chosen from the hundreds of graduates and students to apply, will accompany members of the public at the Festival as they explore the "universe of science". The animators selected have attended a theoretical and practical training course to enable them to assist the public in the laboratories, the exhibitions and all the other Festival events.
Another 100 collaborators will provide technical support during lectures.
The initiative has been made possible by the contribution of the Genoa Chamber of Commerce.


The Friends of the Festival
The "Friends of the Festival of Science Association" has been created as part of the Festival organisation; it is open to individuals, groups, and schools that share a passion for science, and its goal is to encourage the involvement and active participation of the public at events.
Friends will obtain numerous advantages: a personal pass valid for the entire period of the Festival, discounts and invitations to initiatives organised during the year and to special events such as dinners or encounters with internationally famous scientists. It will even be possible to offer hospitality to the scientists and speakers at the Festival in one's own home.
The Chairman of the Friends of the Festival of Science Association is Carla Casalone Musso, and it is coordinated by Caterina Fasolini.
