Theme: Time Reshaping

Con questa prima edizione, inauguriamo il palco di Udine per rendere la nostra città protagonista di questo tempo. Una riflessione sul concetto di tempo sotto diversi punti di vista: science, life & work. Benjamin Franklin scrisse: "Il tempo è la sostanza di cui è fatta la vita", ma il tempo in realtà esiste? Perchè ne veniamo condizionati? Come organizziamo la nostra giornata e che valore diamo al nostro tempo nella vita e nel lavoro? Gli speaker porteranno un punto di vista personale a queste domande, proponendo al pubblico un momento in cui fermarsi e riflettere anche su se' stessi. Una giornata in cui ogni istante sarà segnato da un'esperienza particolare da vivere. Una giornata in cui il tempo si potrà ri-modellare.

Massimo Franceschet

Network Science and Generative Art Researcher

I am a researcher in work and in life. In the last (almost) 20 years of research I have been involved in representation and temporal reasoning, modal and temporal logics, Web technologies, bibliometrics, network and data science, and generative art. Dealing with various topics, even far apart, allows me to dissect different aspects of information science without losing the enthusiasm and creativity, characteristics that I consider essential to do research. I believe in the concept of cross-pollination, that is, the fertilization of disciplines with methods and tools belonging to different domains, even disparate ones. I taught, at Italian and foreign universities as well as international schools, arguments closely related with my research. I believe in two-way synergy between teaching and research.
