OUR TEAM
Gruppo Pleiadi (the “Pleiades Group”) deals with all aspects of scientific divulgation, including didactic labs, mobile shows and exhibits, a digital mobile planetarium, demonstrations and birthday parties. The group sprang from the willing of Alessio Scaboro and Lucio Biondaro, who are both phisicists and the directors and coordinators of Pleiadi's several activities. After several experiences in the field of scientific divulgation, Lucio and Alessio decided to create a subject responding to the needs they had met both in the schools and in the general public, who seemed concerned with the opportunities and the tools, that is the ways to knowledge. From 2009 Lucio and Alessio have been building around them a team representing the full range of scientific competences and skills, a wide network of collaborators including researchers, national and international museums, like the latest Copernicus Museum in Warsaw.
Gruppo Pleiadi is an associate member of ECSITE, the European Network of Science Centers and Museums http://www.ecsite.eu/ and a member of the International Planetarium Society http://www.ips-planetarium.org/
To date Gruppo Pleiadi mainly acts in Northern Italy, but it spreads its activity year after year and its labs and exhibits are fully repeatable abroad. Moreover its high standards make it a strategic partner for international projects and consortia.
