Honorary doctorate and Nobel lecture
Rector Daniela Mapelli will award an honorary doctorate in Physics to Giorgio Parisi, for his pioneering contributions in the fields of theoretical elementary particle physics, quantum field theory and statistical physics, and particularly for discovering the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems at all possible scales, a result that earned him the Nobel prize in Physics in 2021. The award ceremony will feature a Nobel lecture, titled La complessità vista da un fisico (Complexity from a physicist’s point of view), in which Professor Parisi will discuss his research. This ranges across different areas of physics, including particle physics, statistical mechanics, fluid dynamics, condensed matter physics and supercomputers. On Monday 30 January at 5pm in the Aula Magna at Palazzo del Bo. |

Incontro
Architect Daniel Libeskind, one of the leading figures of deconstructivism, will be joined by Professor in Didactics and Special Education Marina Santi (University of Padua) for a conversation on design in an educational and social context, besides an architectural and artistic one. The event will include interludes of jazz music (performed by Jimmy Weinstein, Lilli Santon and Alessandro Fedrigo), providing a further opportunity for reflection during the interview with Mr Libeskind. His work often explores the themes of surprise, uncertainty and improvisation, which are relevant to our times and guide his political and ethical approach to architecture and design. On Friday 3 February at 5pm in the Aula Magna at Palazzo del Bo. |
