Caglioli, E. Laszlo, L. Briatore, S. Bergia, L. Magnani, W. Ebeling, E. Gunzig, E. Gianetto, K. Hutchison, S. D’Agostino.
The different sessions of the Assembly were presided over by Fabio Bevilacqua, Mauro Ceruti and Giulio Giorello, with the help of Enico Giannetto and Federico Canobbio. In conformity with the original design planned by Ilya Prigogine and Luigi Zanzi the configuration of the Assembly was presented. At the inauguration of the Assembly, the Rector of the University of Pavia, Professor Roberto Schmid, gave Ilya Prigogine (Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1977) an honor for his work in science.
