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.

Italian port infrastructure and its monitoring: ISPRA’s two new geodatabases – Maritime Works Layout and Port Transformation Areas

Apr 29, 2026 09:00 AM — Apr 29, 2026 01:45 PM Rome, ISPRA headquarter, via Vitaliano Brancati 48

On April 29, 2026, at 9:00 AM, the Conference Hall of ISPRA will host the conference:
“Italian Port Infrastructure and Its Monitoring: ISPRA’s Two New GeoDBs – Maritime Works Layout and Port Transformation Areas.”

Based on high-resolution data layers covering the entire national coastal system, ISPRA presents and releases two new databases:

Maritime Works Layout (AOM), including the digitization and characterization of all structures classified as port infrastructure, with details on their type, function, and usage conditions, their evolution over time, ISTAT references, affiliation with relevant territorial authorities or administrations, and declared or estimated berthing capacity;

Port Transformation Areas (ATP), including the digitization and characterization of polygons related to obstruction (seabed occupation), excavation (coastal land occupation), and alteration (modification of natural conditions within basins) for all coastal port infrastructures, compared to pre-development conditions (ante operam).

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.
