Once again, this year INFN is joining “I Venerdì dell'Universo” (Fridays of the Universe) in Ferrara: a series of scientific seminars where researchers give a glimpse of their research. During the first event, which featured INFN President Antonio Zoccoli as guest speaker, the prizes in memory of Prof. Raffaele Tripiccione, who passed away recently, were awarded to the best master's theses in Physics discussed at the University of Ferrara to remember Tripiccione’s enlightened commitment to teaching and research.
I Venerdì dell'Universo (Fridays of the Universe) were born thanks to the collaboration between the Department of Physics and Earth Sciences of the University of Ferrara, the INFN Division of Ferrara and the "Columbia" Astrophile Group of Ferrara, and have been held regularly since 2000.

All the events will be held in Italian.
