“Science in Action”: Unimore to Award Prizes to 150 Secondary School Students from Reggio Emilia
The Department of Sciences and Methods for Engineering (DISMI) at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Unimore) will honour secondary school students from Reggio Emilia who have taken part in provincial, national and international science Olympiads. The awards ceremony for “Scienze in gioco” (“Science in Action”) will take place on Saturday 17 October at 3 pm in the Manodori Main Hall at Palazzo Dossetti (15 Viale Allegri). A total of 150 students will be recognised for their outstanding performances in the 2026 competitions.
Among the award winners is Matteo Dolcin, from the A. Zanelli Institute, who won three gold medals in the national Olympiads in Mathematics, Astronomy and Earth Sciences. He also secured a silver medal at the International Earth Science Olympiad and a bronze medal at the National Physics Olympiad. Another notable winner is Tiziano Grillo, from the A. Moro Scientific Sixth Form College, who won gold at the National Astronomy Championships and silver at the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics.
The event will open with a lecture entitled “Women in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Astronautics”, delivered by Ciro Sacchetti and Davide Borghi from CSMo, an association based in Modena. The talk will explore the fundamental contributions made by women, from the pioneers of the Apollo programme to the scientists and engineers playing leading roles in the Artemis programme. Designed to engage and inform a wider audience, the lecture will highlight how expertise, research and teamwork have helped lay the groundwork for humanity’s return to the Moon in the years to come.
