Appointment Monday, January 27 from 4 p.m. at the Miela Theater

Living with Auschwitz is the title of the multidisciplinary symposium and the contribution of civilization with which the University of Trieste and the Stazione Rogers Association each year set out to commemorate what has been. 
In compliance with Law 211/2000, instituting the Day of Remembrance, the symposium pursues Primo Levi's warning: analysis, study and knowledge of the abomination of the Shoah and deportation to the Nazi concentration camps, as an antidote against the reiteration of the crime that with different methodologies still and always scourges humanity. Memory, culture and knowledge of what has been, against all forms of racism, any racial, social, cultural and religious discrimination and prevarication, for Peace and Freedom.

As part of the Day of Remembrance, the event will be repeated for the eleventh time in Trieste next Monday, January 27, starting at 4 p.m. at the Miela Theater.

The initiative will once again increase interdisciplinary convergences in a relationship of scientific analysis and actualization of the memory of the Shoah and deportation.
At 4:15 p.m., after greetings from the academic authorities, Mauro Barberis, professor of Philosophy of Law at the Department of Legal Sciences, Language, Interpretation and Translation at the University of Trieste, will open the proceedings.
The lecturer will speak on the theme “Holocausts or Narratives?” starting with a question: is Memory just one narrative among many?The question arises amid the ongoing massacres, from the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the Hamas pogrom to the Gaza carnage. Conflicts that cause one to rethink terms like “Shoah” and “Holocaust.” The scholar will try to answer the question by extending the phenomenon of the Shoah to all the holocausts that still exist. 
Following this, the day will continue with talks by various speakers from the University of Trieste and several national universities. Among the guests will be Tomaso Montanari, rector of the University for Foreigners of Siena. 
Moderating will be journalist Pierluigi Sabatti.

The conference will also be offered in the new “live preview” formula, with speeches in the hall lasting up to 10 minutes. The full drafts will be published by EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste, accessible from the University portal.

Festival of Psychology in Friuli Venezia Giulia: fifth edition

Back for the fifth year is the Festival of Psychology in Friuli Venezia Giulia, the traveling festival that offers in-depth meetings dedicated to the dissemination of psychological knowledge and the breaking down of stereotypes about the discipline. The new edition, titled Intelligences. From natural intelligence to artificial intelligence, will take place between March and April 2025 and will touch the cities of Trieste, Gorizia, Gradisca d'Isonzo, Cormons, Palmanova and Tavagnacco.

In anticipation of the events, the steering committee of Psicoattività, an association that has always created and organized the Festival, has issued a call for entries for the Third Prize for Innovative Research in Psychology dedicated to young psychologists and researchers under 36. Entries are open until Feb. 16, 2025 on the website psicoattivita.it.

The competition is aimed at rewarding published research papers or master's or doctoral theses that deal with innovative issues in the field of psychology and have used an empirical approach, published or discussed between September 1, 2023 and February 1, 2025.
The purpose of the prize, in line with the aims of the Festival, is to enhance the psychological culture in the territory of Friuli Venezia Giulia and to promote scientific initiatives aimed at the development and dissemination of psychology in its various articulations and fields of application, in order to promote people's well-being and quality of life.

Eligible to participate in the competition are young graduates or researchers under 36 years of age who have completed a Master's degree or a Doctoral degree in Psychology. Three cash prizes - of 600, 300 and 150 euros - are up for grabs, which will be awarded to the first, second and third place respectively.

The award ceremony will be held during one of the events of the fifth Festival of Psychology, which awaits the public between March and April 2025 with six meetings located in Trieste, Gorizia, Gradisca d'Isonzo, Cormons, Palmanova and Tavagnacco. The fifth edition, dedicated to the theme “Intelligences. From natural intelligence to artificial intelligence,” will delve into some new areas of research and application of psychology at the center of current thinking, namely those related to the study of the human mind and intelligence.
In particular, in light of psychological studies on the subject, the six Festival events will investigate the different forms of human intelligence, including in relation to artificial intelligence.
Thus, natural intelligence and artificial intelligence, emotional intelligence and creativity, fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence, musical intelligence and animal intelligence will be discussed. The analysis will also focus on the everyday challenges posed by artificial intelligence and the new dimensions of people's lives resulting from its use.

The Festival, which enjoys the support of the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, is made possible thanks to the collaboration of the municipalities of Gorizia, Cormons, Gradisca d'Isonzo, Palmanova and Tavagnacco, as well as the aforementioned partnerships of the University of Trieste and SASS Nova Gorica.
