From Wednesday, November 11, 2026, to Thursday, March 18, 2027, the seventh edition of ‘Warning’ returns to Palazzo Blu, the scientific dissemination festival aimed at high school students, with in-depth meetings led by expert speakers.
The 2026/2027 edition is dedicated to ‘Science, from understanding nature to social progress’ and offers four meetings from November 2026 to March 2027.
Science is the most powerful tool that human beings have developed to understand reality, solve complex problems and improve their living conditions. Science presents a body of knowledge and methods and is in itself neutral. However, the consequences of its application depend heavily on how it is financed and governed. The series of meetings aims to offer some keys to understanding how science and its impact, positive or negative on humanity, are determined by political, economic, and social ethics, factors that guide the use of discoveries.
