The Geothematic Cartography of the CARG Program

Apr 16, 2026 — Apr 16, 2026 Florence, Istituto Geografico Militare, Via Cesare Battisti, 10

ISPRA and the Italian Military Geographic Institute are organizing the conference “The Geothematic Cartography of the CARG Program” scheduled for April 16, 2026, at the headquarters of the Italian Military Geographic Institute in Florence.

The event represents an important opportunity for scientific and technical discussion on the results and developments of the CARG Program (Geological Map of Italy), with particular focus on the production of geothematic cartography, including geomorphological, hazard, hydrogeological, and geomineral mapping. Throughout the day, experts from ISPRA, universities, research institutions, and public bodies will present thematic map sheets currently under development within the CARG framework, illustrating methodologies, expected results, and future perspectives. Significant attention will also be given to the collaboration between ISPRA and the Italian Military Geographic Institute, as well as to new frontiers in digital cartography.

The day will open with institutional greetings from high-level representatives of the Italian Military Geographic Institute and ISPRA. A visit to the Italian Military Geographic Institute is scheduled at the end of the event.

ISPRA in the Festival Impatta Disrupt

Apr 13, 2026 — Apr 15, 2026 Rome, House of cinema

The Innovability Festival

The event officially celebrates the United Nations World Innovation Day, as part of the broader framework of Italian Earth Day celebrations.

The aim of the initiative is to create an interdisciplinary think tank where scientists, policymakers, business leaders, and innovation stakeholders can engage in dialogue to achieve the “green renaissance” called for by the United Nations 2030 Agenda.

The Impatta Disrupt Festival is also designed as an accredited training module at major national and international academic institutions.

The entire program is recognized as a training module by the Environmental Specialization School of ISPRA, and each session is organized in collaboration with a university that acknowledges its scientific and educational value by including it among its official seminars.

Partnerships have been developed with Sapienza University of Rome, CREST - Centre for Research and Engineering in Space Technologies, LUMSA University, University of Catanzaro Magna Graecia, University of Tuscia, and IUL Telematic University.

ISPRA participates in the Rome Science Festival 2026

Apr 15, 2026 — Apr 19, 2026 Rome, Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone

From April 15 to 19, 2026, the Rome Science Festival returns to the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone.

The universe and life are not static entities, but the result of an unceasing dance between chaos and order. This dynamic balance manifests itself at every scale of reality: from the origins of the Big Bang to the mathematical structures of seashells, all the way to the complexity of human thought, where billions of electrical impulses coordinate to generate consciousness and emotions.

This duality does not belong solely to science, but permeates every form of human expression and structure.

Chaos and harmony are not opposites, but complementary forces. Exploring their dialogue is essential to understanding change and facing the future with greater awareness.
