(ANSA) - TRIESTE - ''We have appointed Trieste city of ESOF 2020 three years in advance, a sufficient time to get organized.

Trieste is already taking the first steps and compared to other cities of science is far ahead of schedule'', said the Secretary General of Euroscience, Peter Tindemans, attending the first international meeting of TESI (Trieste Encounters on Science and Innovation), the operational tool of the Trieste International Foundation, which deals with discussing and promoting the actions of proEsof, the programme including events and initiatives ahead of the EuroScience Open Forum 2020.

''Initially for ESOF 2020 - Tindemans added - we intended to choose a city in central and eastern Europe, but this did not happen, but Trieste is in a very favourable position to reach these countries and today's meeting brings together many of their representatives, who should during these years start feeling at home in Trieste ''.

At the first meeting of TESI, which is ongoing in Trieste today and tomorrow, experts from science museums, science and science communications centres in Italy, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia, will lay the groundwork for the creation of the new science centre in the Old Port of Trieste.
