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.

Stories in Stone: A Geological Journey Through the Basilicas of Rome

Apr 18, 2026 — Apr 18, 2026 Rome

As part of the Festival of Science di Rome, ISPRA is organizing, on April 18, the geological walk “Stories in Stone: A Geological Journey Through the Basilicas of Rome.”

Rebuilt after the devastating fire of 1823, the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls represents an important example of the restoration of early Christian architecture, while preserving its connection to its ancient origins. One of the building’s distinctive features is the extensive use of ornamental stones sourced from various areas of the Mediterranean.

The guided tour will offer participants the opportunity to closely observe these lithological varieties, appreciating not only their quality and aesthetic value, but also their historical significance—providing a unique chance to discover how architectural beauty intertwines with history and geology.

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.
