Il Belmont Forum ha pubblicato, nell'ambito Internazional Opportunities Fund  per il 2014, un invito a presentare proposte di ricerca in artico sulla sostenibilità (Arctic Observing and Research for Sustainability) allo scopo di favorire attività scientifiche inter- e trans- disciplinari.
La Call mira a mettere insieme gruppi di ricerca integrati di scienze sociali e naturali e parti interessate a sviluppare progetti che utilizzano esistenti sistemi di osservazione dell'Artico, dataset e modelli per valutare le sfide sulla sostenibilità e sulle opportunità nella regione artica. Questa opportunità di finanziamento vuole sostenere progetti di ricerca che utilizzano e sviluppano flussi di informazioni per valutare, prevedere, informare e comunicare i percorsi della sostenibilità. Brochure Belmont Forum.

La Call vuole affrontare quattro temi rilevanti particolamenti urgenti per la sostenibilità in Artico:
- l'ambiente naturale e vivente
- l'ambiente costruito e le infrastrutture
- la gestione delle risorse naturali e lo sviluppo
- la governance del sistema

L'Artico è un sistema interdipendente e questi temi non sono scorrelati, i progetti quindi dovranno individuare le interazioni esistenti tra queste tematiche.

Sono previsti tre tipi di richieste:
- piccoli contributi per collaborazioni
- progetti di sintesi
- proposte di ricerca

I fondi disponibili (13 Meuro) comprendono i contributi di 10 paesi tra cui l'Italia, il Nordic Council of Ministers e il World Ocean Council. E' possibile la collaborazione anche con paesi non partecipanti. Tutte le proposte richiedono la collaborazione tra almeno tre paesi, l' integrazione tra scienze naturali e sociali, il riferimento ad utenti finali, istituzioni pubbliche e altre soggetti interessati di rilievo.

Per favorire collegamenti tra i proponenti internazionali interessati maggiori dettagli sono disponibili sul sito IGFA Belmont Forum.   Scadenza 31 Luglio 2014.

The conference provides an opportunity to discuss multi-hazard risks and multi-disciplinary research results on the effects of changing of hydro-meteorological risks and their effects on planning strategies.

The conference focus 1) on natural hazard process understanding and innovative methodologies for quantitative hazard and risk forecasts, and 2) on the integration of engineering, socio-economic and human sciences in risk management and prevention planning in practice.

Call for abstracts and papers:      
The deadline for submission of abstract is: 1st July 2014, and the deadline for full papers: 1st October 2014

"Climate Change: Scenarios, Impacts and Policy" is the title of the SISC Second Annual Conference that will take place on September 29-30, 2014 at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Italy. The Conference aims to involve scientists, researchers and policy makers, whose activities are focused on different aspects of climate change, its impacts and related policies.

Please save the date of October 7-9 in your diaries for the EurOCEAN 2014 conference, which is taking place in Rome.

The EurOCEAN 2014 conference will focus on the grand challenges of marine and maritime research and policy. Bringing together marine scientists from a broad range of disciplines with policymakers, industry and NGOs, a key output of EurOCEAN 2014 will be the development of a common vision on achieving an ecosystem approach to the management of Europe’s marine resources as a fundamental requirement for sustainable Blue Growth.

This common vision will be delivered in the “Rome Declaration”, a consensus view of the EurOCEAN 2014 participants, reflecting that of the European marine science community. Highlighting the importance of Blue Growth and of commercially-driven, problem-oriented research, EurOCEAN 2014 will equally emphasize that a growing and sustainable maritime economy will also require a much greater knowledge and understanding of marine ecosystem functioning and resilience.

Programma della giornata

The European Marine Board (EMB) published the position paper: Linking Oceans & Human Health: A Strategic Research Priority for Europe. An output of the European Marine Board working group on Oceans and Human Health, chaired by Prof. Michael Moore (PML, UK), this publication aims to raise the profile of the issue of oceans and human health amongst policy makers, research funders and the scientific community, and promote the establishment of a coherent oceans and human health research framework in Europe.

Building on the messages of EMB Position Paper 19 Linking Oceans and Human Health, a 2-day science-policy workshop, attended by  50 experts from a broad range of disciplines, was held in Cornwall in March 2014. The workshop was co-organized by the European Marine Board and the European Centre for Environment and Human Health and resulted in a unanimous call for a coordinated, transnational and interdisciplinary Oceans and Human Health research programme in Europe. This message is encapsulated in the strategy statement, Message from Bedruthan.

 
EMB Position Paper 19    -     Message from Bedruthan

Canada and Italy have longstanding relations and historic cooperation and partnerships in the areas of culture, trade, investment, and science & technology. Following the May 2013 admission of Italy as an Arctic Council Observer nation, both countries see opportunities for further collaborations to share and discover new knowledge relevant to the Arctic and its people. The Canadian Polar Commission and the Embassy of Italy in Canada are pleased to organize a joint workshop involving key Canadian and Italian arctic knowledge experts. This event to be held in Ottawa will be a catalyst for concrete innovation development at the international level and will further enhance bilateral cooperation between Italian and Canadian research organizations and communities, in the context of the recent launch of EU Research and Innovation Programme (EU Horizon 2020).

Il Progetto di Interesse NextData, in collaborazione con il Dipartimento Scienze del Sistema Terra e Tecnologie per l'Ambiente del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR-DTA), il Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso (PNGP), l'Associazione Fotografi Naturalisti Italiani (AFNI), la Società Italiana di Caccia Fotografica (SICF) e l'Associazione IBEX-Fotonatura Piemonte intende organizzare una mostra fotografica di vasto respiro sugli ecosistemi montani in Italia.

Scopo della mostra è comunicare la bellezza, la ricchezza e la complessità degli ecosistemi montani italiani e degli organismi che li popolano, in un'iniziativa che congiunge approccio scientifico e valore estetico. Sono invitati a contribuire tutti i fotografi naturalisti interessati alla documentazione e illustrazione di questo patrimonio naturale italiano.

Per maggiori informazioni è disponibile l'annuncio dettagliato.
