                2004 
                  Edition  
                   
                  Under the Patronage of the President of 
                  the Italian Republic 
                   
                  The Festival in 2004 was part of the Genoa European Capital 
                  of Culture 2004 programme and has been an  important 
                  European appointment for public awareness of the scientific 
                  culture, with prominent international participation: for this 
                  reason the event has been officially recognised by the European 
                  Union under the European Science Week (ESW) through the European 
                  network Esciential. 
                   
                  What's more, the scientific-didactic exhibition "The wonders 
                  of science" presented exhibits proposed by students from 
                  various parts of the world.  
                  This has been a unique opportunity, therefore, for an exchange 
                  between scientists and the public on issues which interest the 
                  whole of society, a new path through science for having fun 
                  while experimenting and discovering many phenomena of daily 
                  life, an innovative way for developing and promoting cooperation 
                  between European countries.
