Opening Ceremony.
The opening ceremony at the Cini Foundation, Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, will provide an
opportunity to outline the main problems constituting The Energy Challenge.
The speakers will develop their views on how the Energy Challenge will impact society and culture,
politics and economics, and the health of the planet and its human inhabitants - in the key of the
Venice Charter declaration that major goals of applied scientific research must include reduced
use of fossil fuels and expanded use of alternative energy sources.
In line with the aims of the Future of Science Programme, The Energy Challenge theme is one that
brings science back to the centre of public attention and debate.

h. 6.00 p.m.
