Euroscience Open Forum, ESOF2010. Passion for Science, concluded with the surprising and almost sky-high handover from Turin to Dublin on the roof-top track of Lingotto, at the presence of the Mayor of Dublin and the Deputy Mayor of Turin. Over 4,300 participants were registered in the 7 days of the event, with more than 400 accredited journalists from all around the world and an estimated influx of 75,000 visitors involved in the extraordinary collective spectacular show of Science in the City which enlivened the city's nights during ESOF.

ESOF2010 also conquered the net with 25,000 visits in seven days, more than 400 tweets on Twitter, and the ESOF2010 group on Facebook had about 1,000 users. We also had more than 4,000 views of video on-demand of the sessions with the event just closed with the WebESOF project.

The ESOF2010 rose was presented during the Inaugural Ceremony of ESOF2010, on 2 July at the Giovanni Agnelli Auditorium of Lingotto.
The new cultivar was created by Antonio Marchese, the youngest son of a historical family of floriculturists of Sanremo: at the end of the 1970s he began to hybridise roses and his passion for research saw results in obtaining the varieties that were to become the first bricks in the basic genetic heritage.
