Carlo Rosa, CEO of DiaSorin, participated in a June 2021 digital event organized by the Fondazione DiaSorin focused on engaging young people with science. During the event, Rosa commented on the "Made for Science" competition, which awards prizes to schools for laboratory projects. He described observing "great enthusiasm" and a "beautiful ability to work together" among the over 1,500 students who have participated in the competition over five years, noting that the students demonstrate a "freshness" and "expressive capacity" that varies by region. Rosa also remarked that the projects have a "link with the territory," citing examples of students working on local topics such as wine yeasts in Asti or environmental issues in Taranto. Rosa stated that the competition receives approximately 200 to 250 applications annually from around 1,500 high schools, and he expressed a desire for more applications, calling it "the appeal we wanted to make today" to school principals. He concluded by quoting Marie Curie, saying, "the scientist in his laboratory is like a child in front of the phenomena of nature that fascinate him like a fairy tale," and encouraged students to continue their experiments.
