On February 25, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM, the training session “Promoting gender equality in blue economy companies and organizations” will be held at the Sala Misiti of CNR-IRPPS, organized by the European project WINBLUE.

The training aims to raise awareness and enhance the sharing of knowledge and best practices on gender equality in the blue economy, in order to strengthen the capacity to address challenges and overcome obstacles that prevent individuals from accessing professional development opportunities in a balanced manner regardless of gender. Interactive sessions will be held during the event.

The training is intended for individuals working in businesses, NGOs, research institutions, universities, and students over 18 years of age who work in or are interested in the Blue Economy sector.

Participants in the training will receive a certificate.

It will be possible to participate in the workshop both in person and remotely.

Pier Giorgio Ardeni is a professor of Political and Development Economics at the University of Bologna.

(Book and author profile) Social Classes in Italy Today (Editori Laterza) describes the social differences that remain strong and distinct in Italy, where they limit social mobility, access to education, possibilities, and opportunities. Of course, classes are no longer what they once were because professions and lifestyles have changed, but they still exist, even after we were convinced that they had dissolved in our ‘liquid’ society.
These pages, following step by step how the class structure in Italy has evolved and quantifying the weight of various strata and groups as their characteristics and composition change, aim to show how inequalities in income distribution correspond to differences in profession and educational qualifications, and how social structure still influences power relations. The relative weight of classes has varied, and with it their ‘political’ weight within the channels of representation. A book that aims to demonstrate how classes still exist, indeed, and it is from these that we must start again to rethink the crisis of democracy and representation.
