“Cafferenze” with streaming and chat

We noticed that Science-Cafès on specialized topics, still attracting public, have difficulties in starting the discussion since the attendees have little previous knowledge on the topic.
We therefore decided to adapt the caffescienza formula in order to allow a longer introduction (and thus only one speaker), allowing the questions after the explanation. We call this modality “cafferenza” (a mix between “caffè-scienza” and “conferenza”.
We extend our public thanks to the use of the platform to stream and to allow chat.
