We are putting together the programme of Fosforo Schools 2027!
The full programme will be ready by 12 January 2027, but you can already register your school or class to receive it in preview.
That gives you more time to explore workshops, shows and activities, and to organise your class’s visit at your own pace.
All Fosforo activities are free, including those for schools: no tickets, no participation fees.

What is Fosforo
Fosforo is Senigallia's science festival, an annual event that brings researchers, science communicators, artists and curious minds from all over Italy to the city's squares, historic buildings and cultural venues.
Each edition offers dozens of free events designed to bring the general public closer to science: from physics to astronomy, biology to technology, mathematics to philosophy of mind.
In 2027 the festival will take place from 19 to 23 May in Senigallia (AN). As always, all activities are free: labs, talks, exhibitions and shows are open to everyone at no cost.
