Nova saznanja o Nikoli Tesli predstavljena na Harvardu

Centar ze evropske studije Univerziteta Harvard i Harvardovo Južnoslovensko društvo organizovali su 11. februara panel koji je predstavio novo lice Nikole Tesle.

Događaj je započeo predavanjem Aleksandra Protića, direktora Tesla memorijalnog projekta i Federalnog savetnika Francuske Federacije za UNESKO o doprinosu svetskom miru Nikole Tesle, kao i o njegovom mestu u međunarodnoj baštini.

U nastavku je održana panel diskusija na kojoj je predstavljena knjiga "Put mira Nikole Tesle" u izdanju UNESKO Centra za mir, "Teslianum" energetskog inovacionog centra i Tesla memorijalnog projekta. Zbornik članaka osvetljava Teslin doprinos svetskom miru, strategijama, filantropiji, održivom razvoju, etičkom preduzetništvu, teme koje su gotovo nimalo poznate u vezi Tesle.

Štampano izdanje knjige se ne prodaje, već poklanja izuzetnim pojedincima koji su se posvetili Tesli.

Digitalna verzija knjige biće svima besplatno dostupna putem interneta. U knjizi, o Tesli pišu nobelovci, akademici, eksperti MENSA-e, UNESKO-a, UNICEF-a, čuveni pisci, profesori i studenti iz različitih zemalja.

Gi Đoken, direktor UNESKO centra za mir, govorio je o tome šta lideri mogu da nauče od Tesle.

Mirjana Prljević, međunarodni ekspert za strateško pozicioniranje, predsednik Energetskog inovacionog centra "Teslianum" i izvršni direktor Fondacije za mir i rešavanje kriza, analizirala je premijerno Teslu kao primer sjajnog stratega i naglasila da su izuzetni ljudi ključ dobrih strategija.

Srđan Pavlović, predsednik frankfurtske interkulturne mreže Nikola Tesla posvetio se Teslinoj kreativnosti. Zorica Civrić, viši kustos Muzeja nauke i tehnike u Beogradu, predstavila je komparativnu analizu Tesle i Šekspira kao analogiju dva genija. Rave Mehta, pisac bestseler stripa o Nikoli Tesli razmatrao je savremeni pristup istoriji nauke i način na koji Tesla može da inspiriše mlađe generacije.

Pored profesora i studenata univerziteta Harvard, događaju u Harvardovom Centru za Evropske studije prisustvovao je i diplomatski kor, naučnici, preduzetnici i umetnici.
