    Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture (President: prof. Antonino Zichichi) EBI International School of Bioelectromagnetics “Alessandro Chiabrera” Director of the School: prof. Ferdinando Bersani (University of Bologna, Italy) The Centre for Scientific Culture in Erice (Sicily, Italy) is named after the great Italian scientist Ettore Majorana. Antonino Zichichi, the President of the Centre, has said: “At Erice, those who come in order to follow a certain School are called ‘students’, but actually they are young people who have successfully completed their University studies and who come to Erice in order to learn what the new problems are. However, what is distinctive for Erice is the spirit animating all participants: students no less than teachers. The prime objective is to learn. The student listens to the lectures and after that comes the most amusing part: the discussion session.” Topics in Bioelectromagnetics have come to Erice many times in the past, especially in the 1980s, with international courses and workshops on non-ionising radiation, and today many participants of those courses contribute greatly to the development of this research field. Following the request of the European Bioelectromagnetics Association (EBEA) and the Inter-University Centre for the study of the Interaction between Electromagnetic Fields and Biosystems (ICEmB), in 2003 the Ettore Majorana Centre has established a Permanent School of Bioelectromagnetics, named after Alessandro Chiabrera, who is considered as a master by the young

  • Southern and Western Sicily, from Siracusa to Erice
    Southern and western Sicily, from Siracusa to Erice Sicily is unique and the challenge with organising any visit here is not what to include but what to leave out! After offering our wonderful “Palermo to Taormina tour” through central and northern Sicily, we have finally decided to branch out and explore the ‘other’ Sicily: the remarkable south and west. The first four nights of the tour are in Siracusa. We then drive to Agrigento for two nights before taking a boat to the Egadi Islands, a small archipelago off the western coast where we stay for the next four days. Back on the mainland, the finale is two nights in a lovely new hotel on the edge of Lo Zingaro, Sicily’s first national park. Highlights include: wandering through the lanes and squares of Siracusa; rambling through the gorgeous Anapra Valley; exploring the extraordinary icing-sugar Baroque towns of the south-east; an aperitif on our hotel terrace in Agrigento watching the sun set over the Valley of the Temples; walking along the endless miles of warm sand of the southern beaches; enjoying the dynamic North African heritage of western Sicily; a picnic lunch on-board a private boat on the Egadi Islands; walking along the spectacular coast line of Sicily’s first national park; our visit to silent, misty Erice; and, of course, the Sicilian people themselves! The walks: The walks on this tour follow well marked trails along good paths over generally undulating countryside. They are a combination of coastal and country walks and range from 9 kilometres to 14 kilometres and take 2.5 to 4 hours not including breaks.
