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...
