NODES researchers from the University of Pavia at the 2024 Sustainable Development Festival

The Sustainable Development Festival is the largest Italian initiative to raise awareness and mobilize citizens, younger generations, businesses, associations, and institutions on sustainability issues.

Four events promoted by Pavia researchers as part of the NODES project are included in the extensive national program of the 2024 Sustainable Development Festival.

Now in its eighth edition, the Festival of Sustainable Development is the largest Italian initiative aimed at raising awareness and mobilizing citizens, younger generations, businesses, associations, and institutions on the issues of economic, social, and environmental sustainability.

Spoke 6 will participate in the Festival with two events:

"Riso per i tuoi denti: alla scoperta del riso pavese," organized by Prof. Graziano Rossi and Dr. Valentina Vaglia from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Pavia, which invites reflection on the effects of climate change on rice crops in the Pavia area and on strategies for the protection and preservation of certain local varieties. The event will take place on May 18 at the Castello di Lardirago. The event is open to all. Further information is available on the event webpage.

"The challenges posed by climate change to the wine sector: legal responses," organized by Prof. Carola Ricci and Dr. Aldo Piccone from the Department of Political and Social Sciences. This is a free training conference on the legal responses to the effects of climate change on the wine sector, primarily for the benefit of companies and professional operators in the sector. The event will be held on May 24 in the Aula Grande of the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the University of Pavia. Further information is available on the event webpage.
