WHAT IS YOUR MAIN INTEREST IN SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION & RESILIENCE TOPICS?

I am interested in the overlapping between science and society when it comes to climate change adaptation, city transformations, soil, water and agriculture issues

WHICH (IMPACT) AREA OF THE STR PARTNERSHIP IS IN THE FOCUS OF YOUR INTEREST?

EXPERIENCE AND KNOW-HOW IN THE FIELD OF SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS & RESILIENCE

I hold a PhD in Earth, Environment and Biodiversity. I am a professional sci-commer working in the field of EU R&I projects, I collaborate with the main public research organisation in Italy (CNR), I am completing a master in social data analysis

IF YOU HAVE ANY POLICY EXPERIENCE, COULD YOU SHARE INFORMATION ON AREAS, METHODS, RISKS, AND FACTORS FOR SUCCESS?

I have been creating policymakers guidelines, best practice books, and infopacks (as well as training materials) for different EU projects in the fields of sustainable tourism development in remote areas, soil and landuse, circular economy for agriculture, citizen science project's upscaling and communication. The risks when creating this kind of products is to create standard documents that are not adapted to the specific target groups. Also, roundtables, in-person meetings and other forms of engaging communication should be considered. A factor of success is the clear identification of the target audience and the design of a tailored communication product.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN FUTURE RESEARCH COLLABORATION?
