  • The University of Rome "Tor Vergata" will organize four thematic Conferences, at the end of which four eminent scientists will be awarded Honorary Degrees in Physics. The first such Conference, "The Legacy of Supergravity", will be devoted to the remarkable supersymmetric generalization of Einstein's General Relativity, whose first instance was discovered in 1976 by Sergio Ferrara of CERN (then at LNF-Frascati), Daniel Freedman of MIT and Peter van Nieuwenhuizen of the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook. The Conference will take place at Villa Mondragone, the conference venue of the University (www.villamondragone.it), on June 6-8 2005, and at the end prof. Sergio Ferrara of CERN will be awarded an Honorary Degree.
