Short Bio
Maurizio Atzeni divides his time between Argentina and Chile, working as a researcher at CEIL/CONICET and as a Professor of Industrial Relations at the Alberto Hurtado University. His research revolves around two main axes. The first is the study of the nature and dynamics of labour conflict and forms of collective organization of workers. It covers a wide range of cases (the automotive industry, the delivery industry in pre- and post-digitalization contexts, self-managed factories and cooperatives, the informal labour market) to map conflicts and forms of work organization. A second research axis studies the forms of work produced on the basis of contemporary developments in capitalism. This axis refers to a global and interdisciplinary dimension that has been pursued in particular in the publications of the Handbook of the Global Political Economy of Work and previously in Workers and Labour in a Globalised Capitalism. In 2022, he founded the international summer school, LabourTransfer, in Sardinia, which combines the academic world of labour studies with trade union activism and territorial development.

What role does science assume when faced with uncertain scientific facts, urgent decisions, high stakes, and conflicting values?
These questions will be at the center of reflection by scholars in the first meeting of the Officina project in 2023.

The meeting will be held on February 21 at the Faculty of Sociology of the University of Tor Vergata at 11:00 AM.
It will be possible to follow the live stream at the link bit.ly/3S52qgn.

Silvio Funtowicz, a philosopher who developed—together with Jerry Ravetz—the concept of post-normal science, will participate. This concept proposes a new model of scientific inquiry and of the relationship between science, society, and political decision-makers in situations characterized by uncertainty and urgency.

Speakers will also include: Bruna De Marchi, an expert in the sociology of risk; Valentina Tudisca and Claudia Pennacchiotti, IRPPS researchers; and Michela Mayer, from the Italian Association for Sustainability Science.

The meeting will be moderated by scholars Claudia Hassan, University of Tor Vergata, and Adriana Valente, IRPPS, and will be preceded by greetings from the IRPPS Director, Mario Paolucci, and the Director of the SPFS Department, Lucia Ceci.

This time, researchers will be listening to the youth!!

La Nostra Buona Stella, a project funded by the Con i Bambini social enterprise, concludes with reflections from young people on educational poverty and the educating community.

Using various tools (PPTs, videos, songs, and interviews with project partners), twenty students will serve as junior researchers, speaking to an audience of researchers, representatives from third-sector organizations, and local authorities.

We look forward to seeing you at 9:00 AM at the CNR Headquarters Conference Hall!

The 4th edition of the competition “Women and Research in Physics: Between Gender Stereotypes and Future Professions” organized for the 2022/2023 school year is now underway.

The Competition, aimed at students of upper secondary schools (grades 10, 11, and 12) who can participate individually or in groups, aims to raise awareness about gender issues in science and particularly about emerging professions related to the study of physics.

The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, signed in 2015 by 193 States, emphasizes the importance of work as an engine and accelerator for long-term sustainable development.
Rapid technological evolution and the climate emergency require professionals with scientific, technological, IT, digital, and interdisciplinary skills that will be essential for the development of an eco-sustainable economy. It is estimated that the next five years will be decisive in defining 60% of future professions.

The gender imbalance in many advanced training and career paths in technological and research sectors has a strong social impact. These issues have been identified by the European Commission as research priorities in Europe. Italy also recognizes that the low female presence in the study and work areas requiring STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), and particularly physics, is a significant obstacle to the economic growth of our country.

Participants must submit the project in the form of an original video with a maximum duration of 5 minutes, whose technical production requirements are available at http://genera.lngs.infn.it. The winning videos will be presented in Rome in May 2023 during an event dedicated to the role of women in physics. Winners will receive a scientific kit and a plaque with the name of the school that won the prize.

Registration for the competition must be submitted by February 17, 2023, while the sottomissione del progetto entro il 17 marzo 2023.

The competition is organized by the National Institute for Nuclear Physics and the National Research Council – Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies (IRPPS), partner of the European network “GENERA – Gender Equality Network in the European Research Area“, in collaboration with the H2020 project “MINDtheGEPs – Modifying Institutions by Developing Gender Equality Plans” (G.A. 101006543).

The initiative is supported by the Italian Physical Society, the Association for Physics Teaching, Springer Nature, and Elsevier.

On November 14 and 15, we are resuming the training activities of the 8 trainers from the CNR National Research Council on gender equality issues within our organization!
The advanced training course is promoted and organized by #IRPPS as part of the activities of the Gender Equality Plan (GEP 2022-2024) and will introduce participatory techniques for problem-solving and the #GEP as a tool to implement gender equity pathways in the field of research.
