Citizen Science at the Aniene Valley Nature Reserve
Citizen Science at the Aniene Valley Nature Reserve

As part of the 2026 edition of Urban Nature, an initiative promoted by WWF to raise awareness of the importance, value and care of nature in urban areas, the National Biodiversity Network of ISPRA, in collaboration with the Insieme per l’Aniene Association, is organizing a meeting between experts and citizens on 3 October at the Aniene Valley Nature Reserve.

The initiative includes an approximately three-hour walk to discover the flora and fauna of the protected area, with particular attention to the characteristics of its ecosystems, including the riparian vegetation along the course of the Aniene River

Soil Monitoring in the Anthropocene
Soil Monitoring in the Anthropocene
Sep 21, 2026 — Sep 21, 2026 Rome, Palazzetto Mattei in Villa Celimontana Via della Navicella n. 12

A law that describes the issue and find the solution

Directive is the European Union’s first binding instrument dedicated exclusively to soil. It is also the result of a compromise: no restoration targets, no deadlines, and no land-take neutrality. What remains are harmonised indicators, a definition of “healthy soil”, and reporting obligations. Everything else is left to the Member States.

The centre of gravity therefore shifts from legislation to implementation: from 2026 to 2029, when the first national programmes will be introduced. Those four years will determine whether Europe develops a genuine soil policy or merely a sophisticated system for monitoring its own degradation.

The conference opens up this debate, addressing key issues such as multi-level governance, who will pay for restoration, the thresholds defining “healthy soil”, the spatial justice of land consumption, local knowledge and European standards, industrial site remediation, and urban soil sealing.

European Researchers’ Night 2026
European Researchers’ Night 2026
Sep 25, 2026 — Sep 26, 2026 Rome, Città dell'Altra Economia

Once again this year, ISPRA is taking part in the European Researchers’ Night, together with other public research institutions and universities.

The initiative, which will take place across Europe on 25 and 26 September, will provide an opportunity to bring citizens closer to the world of scientific research and to discover the activities and results of public research on today’s most relevant issues.

Rome will become the capital of science with the NET Village. From 6:30 p.m., at the Città dell’Altra Economia in the Testaccio district, visitors will have the opportunity to meet researchers, talk with them, and take part in interactive workshops and talks. It will be an opportunity to discover, in an informal and engaging way, the work that thousands of scientists carry out every day for the benefit and progress of society as a whole.
