Esof, Center-European connection important factor in Trieste

Visit of Secretary General of Euroscience Forum Tindemans

27 May, 10:54
(ANSA) - TRIESTE - The connections between Trieste and Central and Eastern Europe will be "taken into account" by the Esof Committee that will decide which city will be 'European City of Science' in 2020. Secretary General of Euroscience Forum Peter Tindemans said on Friday during his official visit in Trieste. Tindemans met representatives of the scientific institutions of Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, as well as members of the regional government and the city government.

"I'm not going to take a side, of course, but I think we have now for 2020 two very good candidates: Trieste and the combination Leiden-the Hague", Tindemans said. The Center-European connection of Trieste will be certainly an important factor: "All these aspects will be taken into account: how you can really benefit from the international relations the city and the region have. How you can attract people from regions which so far have not yet been so well represented at Esof. And that's the case for people from Central and Eastern Europe". (ANSA).
