Città della Scienza

Città della Scienza is a foundation that aims to build an economy based on knowledge to create real and high-quality jobs, as well as greater social cohesion. The foundation values science for society, emphasizing the importance of bridging the gap between society and the scientific world. It strives to engage citizens in open dialogues with scientists and researchers while promoting scientific communication to stimulate the interest, creativity, and awareness of young people. Città della Scienza supports its territorial stakeholders, such as schools, agencies, businesses, local entities, and associations, by collaborating with them on cultural products and multiplying their effects through actions in the territory. The foundation is focused on the European and Euro-Mediterranean context, recognizing the strategic position of Naples and the Southern Italy region as a bridge between the North and the South of the world. The foundation's core values include promoting a new scientific citizenship, nurturing scientific interest in younger generations, contributing to economic development through scientific disciplines, and advocating for accessibility, sustainability, the culture of work, innovation, and effective promotion of culture. Additionally, Città della Scienza has received several prestigious awards over the years for its architectural projects, museum exhibitions, and excellence in scientific communication. Furthermore, Città della Scienza offers educational programs for school visits, providing an opportunity for students to explore the Science Center, including the Corporea museum showcasing the human body and the 3D Planetarium for immersive journeys through stars and civilizations.
