Crime Scene Triest, Italy: Scandinavian Scientists invade Triest to attend a forum at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, Triest

I have seen their cars allover Triest, with car plate with "S", "N" or "FI"...
And here is the answer:

ICGEB DNA Tumour Virus Meeting, 21-26 July 2015

The  DNA Tumour Virus Meeting, to be held between 21-26 July 2015, at the Stazione Marittima Congress Centre, Trieste, Italy.
The DNATV Meeting has been held annually since 1969, originally rotating between Cold Spring Harbor and Cambridge UK, and more recently, between Madison and San Diego, USA, Montreal, Canada, Oxford and Birmingham, UK and Trieste, Italy. It attracts close to 300 scientists from around the world, and is a forum for discussing the latest developments in the molecular biology of DNA tumour viruses.
DNATV15 is the second of a series of Conferences dedicated to the memory of Arturo Falaschi, former Director-General, mind and driving force in the founding and development of the ICGEB.

The ICGEB is related to Crop Science and Monsanto:

International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology receives USD 6m grant from Gates Foundation for African biosafety project
The International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) has received a grant exceeding US $6 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for the implementation of a project to assist the regulation of agricultural biotechnology products in sub-Saharan Africa. The project will be carried out by the Centre’s Biosafety Unit, by personnel based in its Trieste (Italy) and Cape Town (South Africa) components, and will focus on the development of effective safety and regulatory systems for the regulation of GMOs: a very relevant topic, not only for sub-Saharan Africa countries.
