The photographic show, organized by SHARPER-ERN in collaboration with “Associazione Fotografica Citta’ Giardino (AFCG)”, took place at Palazzo Broletto in Pavia, 25-28 September. It aimed to show to the public the actions underpinning scientific research, through extracts from everyday life of researchers in their laboratory. We are grateful to the organizers for choosing our work for this important dissemination event.
