Radici Festival STEM is a professional residency program set in the heart of Calabria, southern Italy. We invite scientists, researchers, engineers, biotech professionals, university professors, companies and tech innovators to spend a few days with us — sharing their expertise, connecting with local talents and community, and experiencing a land that is as vibrant as the ideas we want to spread.
The model is simple: you bring your knowledge, we take care of the rest. Together, we build bridges between the global STEM world, the local one — and beyond.
We host you in Calabria for a few days. Professionals, companies, research groups, and university professors are welcome. Accommodation, local coordination, and a warm welcome included.
Share your story, your research, or your project through public talks and hands-on workshops. Inspire & get inspired by students, professionals, and curious minds from Calabria and beyond.
Your visit creates a lasting effect. We document, share, and amplify your contribution to build an ongoing conversation between experts and the STEM world.
Biology, biotechnology, medicine, environmental science — all fields are welcome. We believe in the power of life sciences to change how people relate to the natural world.
Software, hardware, AI, engineering, digital transformation — bring your tech story to a place where it can open to new connections.
This is Radici Festival. STEM with fun means culture, but also food, sea, and people. Work hard, then enjoy one of the most beautiful regions in Europe.
We welcome any STEM actor who wants to share with local and non-local communities through their presence and expertise.
University faculty and researchers eager to connect their work with broader audiences.
Startups, scale-ups, and established companies with a story worth telling and knowledge worth sharing.
Organizations working in biology, health, environment, or any frontier of applied science.
Independent professionals, makers, and thinkers who believe in open knowledge and community impact.
Calabria is a region with an old mediterranean history that provides a pool of talents, knowledge and top-notch experts within many sectors. With an estabilished Academical ecosystem it offers a vibrant community where amazing minds and ancient roots are mixed together.
Calabria is also the tip of the Italian boot — ancient, wild, and full of life. It is a land of extraordinary natural diversity, from the Sila plateau to the Tyrrhenian coast, where small communities hold big stories and big potential.
We believe that STEM knowledge should reach every corner of the world and have a sustainable and harmonic benefit. Your presence here is an exchange! You leave with new perspectives, new connections, and memories that only southern Italy can give.
Sea, mountains, parks, and ancient villages — a backdrop like no other for inspiration.
Curious, welcoming, and hungry for new ideas — Calabrian audiences are among the most engaged you'll find.
Just like our parent festival, STEM is about radici — roots that anchor us while we grow toward new horizons.
Whether you are a company, a research group, a university, or an individual professional — if you have knowledge to share and curiosity to explore, we want to hear from you.
