Trieste is asserting itself across the world as the “city of science”.

The city’s science tradition dates back to 1753, when it opened its Astronomical Observatory, and consolidated during the 20th century.

Since 1964, a number of prestigious international science institutions have opened in Trieste: the Centre for Theoretical Physics in Miramare; the Area Science Park, one of the most prestigious science parks in Europe, which includes the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology and the Elettra Synchrotron Light Laboratory, an extraordinary instrument for the study of matter; the Experimental Geophysical Observatory and the Marine Biology Laboratory in Aurisina.
