The official presentation of the finalist works for the 13th edition of the National Award for Scientific Dissemination – Giancarlo Dosi took place at the Chamber of Deputies.

The event represented a key moment for the Award, which for over thirteen years has been enhancing the work of authors, researchers, and science communicators dedicated to spreading scientific culture in Italy.

During the presentation, the books competing in the final ceremony were unveiled. The event will take place on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at the National Research Council (CNR) in Rome, Piazzale Aldo Moro 7.
