The 2024 BergamoScienza Festival: INTELLIGENZE! won first prize in the Cultural Sponsorships and Partnerships category of the 12th edition of the CULTURA + IMPRESA Award, the most important Italian recognition dedicated to the best projects in 2024 that fostered dialogue between Culture and Business—a collaboration that is increasingly significant among public and private cultural institutions and operators, companies, grant-making foundations, and communication agencies. The award ceremony took place in the striking setting of the Shareholders’ Room at Palazzo Edison in Milan.

Each year, BergamoScienza—Italy’s first science outreach festival—transforms the city of Bergamo into a widespread laboratory of scientific culture, offering days filled with free lectures, shows, concerts, and workshops. The 2024 edition, dedicated to the theme of "Intelligences", took the audience on a fascinating journey through human, artificial, biological, and mathematical intelligence, featuring Nobel laureates and internationally renowned scientists.

As a testament to the value of the synergy between Culture and Business, the Cultural Sponsorships and Partnerships award was given to the BergamoScienza Association, with support from UniBg, UniSR, the Bergamo Chamber of Commerce, and Confindustria Bergamo, and with contributions from SIAD S.p.A., ABB S.p.A., and SACBO S.p.A. This recognition rewards not only the quality of the content, but also the strength and effectiveness of the network of partnerships that makes it all possible.

The Strategic Role of Scientific Outreach

Highlighting the significance of the award, UniSR Rector Prof. Enrico Gherlone states:

“This recognition confirms the strategic role of scientific outreach in the university’s Third Mission. Integrating different intelligences is now essential to guide innovation in the service of knowledge and the common good.”

The 2025 Edition

The next edition, BergamoScienza XXIII, will take place from September 27 to October 13, 2025, and will continue to offer free events, lectures, workshops, and activities for all ages, with the same participatory and educational spirit that UniSR has always supported.
