Developing a Tool to Design Ecosystems for Sustainable Soil Management Dear friends and partners, good afternoon! You may remember our announcement that our Fellow Tsilla was a speaker at the 5th ICSD. Today we are proudly sharing with you the full manuscript that accompanied her talk, published as open access (CC-BY-NC) by the European Journal of Sustainable Development. Let us remind you the exceptional values that Tsilla represents, which we hope to push as the new normality here at SCImPULSE. Tsilla is the young mother of two, and she traveled all the way to Rome with her young son Elias (say hello to him in your reactions ;) Below is a picture of the two in front of the venues. In fact, Tsilla is devoting her passion and original thinking to prepare a better place to live in for the next generation. And she does so with the irreducible strength of a mother, who given the right support by her family and coworkers can achieve everythi

The Forum Della Leopolda , dedicated this year to the search of a Sustainable future for Healthcare, will host the most prestigious Italian institutions, organizations, and companies invested in innovation in care. The event is organized in parallel experiences, and the "Futuro Summit," Sept 29-30, will bring together leaders in the healthcare sector for conversations about innovation in support of sustainability. Topics will span from new and future technologies to therapeutic revolution, and will address the meaning of new industrial trends; advances in neuroscience, digital transformation in care, cybersecurity, visions for the future, and longevity. The talks are idea-focused, and on a broad range of subjects, to foster learning, inspiration, and curiosity – and provoke conversations that matter. Many forces are driving the need for innovation as the traditional care delivery model is often seen as overwhelmed. Technology has always played a crucial role in healt

Tsilla Boisselet will be presenting her research proposal at the 5th International Conference on Sustainable Development in Rome, Italy on September 6-7, 2017. The conference will address the fundamental questions of Sustainable Development from the critical challenge of human, environmental, and economic sustainability concerning the present and future generations in a global perspective. Tsilla, leader of the Resuscitation project will be sharing how to use positive interactions between plants with contrasting species and how an informatics tool will replenish the soil. A method that uses the synergy between species to improve agriculture and soil use and help give the farmer’s land an ecologically and economically sustainable second chance. The corresponding Paper will be published online in October 2017 in the Special Issue, Volume 6, and Issue 4 of the European Journal of Sustainable Development (EJSD).   ABSTRACT Environmental and economic limitations

We invite you to get to know, share and comment on some of the ongoing projects at the SCimPulse Foundation . The portfolio of the Foundation is unusually diverse, with the common thread of similarity that all its projects share the aim of improving humanity’s living conditions. From investing in education to empowering people to provide an open network where ideas become feasible initiatives. Soundsight is helping the visually impaired navigate without using the sense of sound.

Hubotics- is making wearable exoskeleton, affordable and customizable for shoulder and elbow rehabilitation. Tsilla Boisselet is helping give the farmer’s land “a second chance” with the Resuscitation project  -to re vitalize soil and promote agriculture as a healthy ecosystem. Any attempt to understand care in the 21st century means understanding its historical r

Advances in care over the centuries have sometimes been ignored but continue to serve as reminders for the need to understand and build a wider perspective. For this to be accomplished, history must be traced.   Deborah Liebart, Alumna of the École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris, Researcher with the Center for Historical Research and Fellow for OpenCare is exploring the question of care in European societies and how effective the different care systems contribute to the inclusion and sustainable growth of the European Union.  She will be participating in mobilizing and exchanging her knowledge and experience within OpenCare . Journey Begins Deborah Liebart is committed to improving living conditions and to secure the future for present and future generations. During a conversation with Marco Manca, by learning about the SCimPulse Foundation and its projects aimed at improving humanity, it was natural she was to become a member of the foundation and share her kn
