Smile City Annual Meeting

Three days to plan the next steps toward greener, circular, and low-climate-impact cities: from January 28 to 30, 2026, CNR-IRPPS, with Alessia D’Andrea and Arianna D’Ulizia, coordinated the Annual Meeting of the European project SMILE CITY – Sustainable Materials for Innovative Low Emissions Applications in the Circular City.

SMILE CITY, funded by the Horizon Europe framework program, brings together 35 partners from over 12 countries including research institutions, universities, local authorities, industries, and European organizations. The project aims to develop and demonstrate innovative systemic solutions to integrate recycled materials and circular processes into urban infrastructure and support the expansion of sustainable cycling mobility across Europe.

The project aims to create over 100 km of cycle paths built with recycled materials; install 20 charging stations for electric bicycles and innovative mobility hubs in various European cities; use materials derived from recycled waste to create durable and sustainable urban infrastructure; and develop digital tools and mobile applications to promote efficient and integrated use of sustainable mobility.

During the first two days, hosted by the National Research Council, discussions focused on the project’s progress, analyses of urban mobility and urban design in the involved cities, and the environmental and health impacts of the developed solutions. Partners also examined the characteristics of the systemic circular solutions to be implemented, focusing on recycled materials and developed products, tests conducted, and remaining challenges. The role of digital tools in supporting sustainable mobility was also addressed, such as the development of a digital app planned by the project, along with strategies for the valorization of results, including the development of policy recommendations and impact assessments.

The third day, held at CNR-IRPPS, centered on Urban Living Labs, co-design processes open to students, designers, researchers, and innovators, which are currently being launched in several Italian cities.

The volume “Longitudinal Data Infrastructures in Europe” is published and available free of charge

The volume “Longitudinal Data Infrastructures in Europe. Tools for Open Science in Social Science Research”, edited by Luciana Taddei and Mario Paolucci, has just been published by Springer.

The volume, available for free download, explores the opportunities that research infrastructures and panels open to the social sciences in the direction of open science.

This is not a technical manual, but rather an accessible guide to social science infrastructures, how they work, and why they are essential for collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Through stories, examples, and reflections, it emerges how infrastructures are not just technological tools, but living ecosystems that nourish ideas, connect people, and enhance the work of everyone. Divided into 12 chapters, the book is aimed at students, teachers, research staff, decision-makers, and anyone who wants to gain insights into the future of knowledge in the social sciences.

The many contributions by CNR-IRPPS research staff provide theoretical and methodological insights related to the experiences gained in the development of the DASSI and FOSSR infrastructures and the GUIDE, GGS, and IOPP panels.

Condolences for the passing of Prof. Enrico Pugliese

IRPPS expresses deep condolences for the passing of Prof. Enrico Pugliese, Professor Emeritus of Sociology of Labor at Sapienza University of Rome, the first director of the CNR Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies, and later an associate.

Our Institute extends its most heartfelt condolences to his family and to all those who knew him.

He will be remembered on December 4 at 11:30 AM at the Capitoline Hill, in the Sala della Protomoteca.

Prof. Pugliese dedicated his studies to the functioning of the labor market, the agricultural world, migration, and welfare systems. He was a point of reference for all of us and for the Institute as a whole, through his teachings, scientific rigor, and numerous collaborations.

With Pugliese, one of the last exponents of the “School of Portici” passes away—the Faculty of Agriculture directed by Manlio Rossi Doria, his teacher and mentor. In Portici, Pugliese developed his primary research interests, which he then expanded throughout his academic career and beyond. Indeed, Pugliese always combined his academic activity with a constant civil and political commitment. He collaborated for many years with the CGIL, working at IRES (the Institute for Economic and Social Research) during the presidency of Adriana Buffardi, and with FLAI, the trade union for agricultural and food processing industry workers.

Appointed director of CNR-IRPPS in 2002, he led the Institute until 2009, contributing decisively to shaping its current scientific profile.

Pugliese succeeded in merging the research traditions of the two main research institutes that gave life to IRPPS: the Institute for Population Research (IRP) in Rome and the Institute for Research on Social Security Dynamics (IRIDISS) in Penta di Fisciano. Under his direction, IRPPS worked from an interdisciplinary perspective on themes such as international migration, population aging, and social security policies. Evidence of this period of the Institute can be found in the various IRPPS reports on the welfare state in Italy, published by Donzelli in the Welfare Books series, as well as the books he published as an author for Il Mulino: L’Italia tra migrazioni internazionali e migrazioni interne, 2006; Quelli che se ne vanno. La nuova emigrazione italiana, 2018; La Terza età. Anziani e società in Italia, 2011; Storia sociale dell’immigrazione italiana. Dall’Unità a oggi, 2024 (with Mattia Vitiello).

The personal and research biography of Enrico Pugliese is told in the film “Raccontare Pugliese. Omaggio per gli ottant’anni di Enrico Pugliese,” available on Vimeo.

Podcast: Violence against women, cyber-violence, and gender approach in research and interventions

Listen to the episode on Spreaker and YouTube.

One in ten women has already suffered some form of cyber-violence since the age of 15. One in three experiences some form of violence during her lifetime. In Italy, according to Istat data, nearly 7 million women have experienced physical or sexual violence.

Behind these numbers are stories, but also challenges in research, communication, and concrete intervention. How is gender-based violence measured and what is the purpose of doing so? What obstacles and opportunities emerge when we move into the digital environment, where the boundaries between freedom and risk become thinner?

Guests of the episode:

Angela Toffanin, researcher at CNR-IRPPS and involved in the projects VIVA (Evaluation and Analysis of interventions to prevent and combat violence against women), and CYBER-VAWG – Social representations of cyber-violence against women and girls.

Eleonora Lozzi, operator at the Padua Anti-Violence Center and head of the Reception and Hospitality Area of the Centro Veneto Progetti Donna.

“Il dato è tratto – Society in numbers and voices” is the podcast produced by the Communication Office of the CNR Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies (CNR-IRPPS).

MetaDiverso - the game to break down gender stereotypes at CNR

CNR-IRPPS collaborated, through the Mind the Geps project, on the creation of the game Metadiverso, the interactive quiz designed to increase CNR staff awareness of gender equality challenges.

Co-creation events – NewWorkTech Project

As part of the project NewWorkTech – From the margins to the masses: Standard practices and innovative uses of technology in augmenting different abilities of people in the world of work – CNR-IRPPS held four co-creation events (both in-person and online) between September and October 2025 to gather opinions and ideas on the various technological interaction needs of people with disabilities in the workplace. The events were organized and moderated by Tiziana Guzzo and Maria Chiara Caschera and involved various stakeholders, including people with disabilities (intellectual, visual, physical, and hearing), associations, educators, technology experts, and policymakers.

The European NewWorkTech project aims to explore how technology can improve the job skills of people with disabilities (sensory, physical, and intellectual). The main objective is to translate this knowledge into practical results: technologically advanced solutions, new theoretical frameworks, ethical issues, policy recommendations, and practical knowledge accessible to the community at large.

The first co-creation event took place on September 23, 2025, involving people with intellectual disabilities, operators from AIPD (Italian Association of People with Down Syndrome), operators and representatives of ANFFAS (Italian Association of People with Intellectual and/or Relational Disabilities) and Séfora Impresa Sociale Anffas, the Disability Manager of the Bank of Italy, the CNR Prevention and Protection Unit, and the University of Copenhagen.

A group of workers with visual impairments was involved in the second event on September 25, 2025, with local representatives of UICI (Italian Union of the Blind and Partially Sighted), technology experts from S. Alessio Margherita di Savoia (Center for Visual Disability Services), the CNR Prevention and Protection Unit, the “Augusto Romagnoli” State Institute in Rome for the specialization of educators for the visually impaired, and the Disability Manager of the Bank of Italy.

The third co-creation event, held on October 7, 2025, was attended by people with physical disabilities, FISH Lazio (Italian Federation for the Rights of People with Disabilities and Families), the Center for Autonomy and Self-Determination, the University of Copenhagen, the CNR Prevention and Protection Unit, and the Italian National Institute of Health (National Center for Innovative Technologies in Public Health – TISP).

Finally, the fourth co-creation event took place on October 16, 2025, involving several people with hearing impairments, the Kairos Association, the ISTC-CNR Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies, the Disability Manager of the Bank of Italy, and the CNR Prevention and Protection Unit.

During the events, through a participatory design process “with and for” people with disabilities, participants provided concrete ideas, needs, and proposals on the use, limitations, and challenges of technology in the world of work.

The feedback received will contribute to the definition of guidelines for the development of more accessible and inclusive technologies that truly respond to the needs expressed by users, in compliance with the fundamental principle: “Nothing about us without us.”

Gender and Intersectional Inequalities in Energy Transition – gEneSys Autumn School

From October 6 to 10, 2025, 24 students from all over the world with diverse educational and professional backgrounds—in both the humanities and social sciences as well as STEM—participated in the gEneSys Autumn School “Gender and Intersectional Inequalities in Energy Transition”.

Hosted by Venice International University, the training program, linked to the European gEneSys project, focused on the new knowledge generated by the project to share a vision of the energy transition as a socio-technical revolution characterized by significant social and gender challenges.

Over the five days, participants took part in workshops and scenario-building sessions, actively contributing their professional skills and research experience from fields such as engineering, physics, anthropology, and political science.

The modules were organized by various project partners, specifically:

The first day, organized by ENEA, introduced the Energy System Ontology, a theoretical lens for understanding the interconnections between environment, policies, strategies, and behaviors in the energy transition. Participants experienced ENERDOM, a serious game to explore systems thinking and build change strategies, followed by a discussion on the gender gap in scientific research on energy.
The module organized by Fraunhofer IAO addressed the theme of energy justice, based on the results of a survey conducted in Europe and Africa. Through theories such as feminist political ecology and energy justice studies, participants analyzed data and designed strategies for an equitable energy transition and inclusive policies.
Inspired by the Transformative Power Lab method, the third day, organized by CNR-IRPPS, explored power dynamics in the energy transition. Participants reflected on their own positioning and discussed real cases to interpret power relations at different levels of the energy system and develop tools to foster just transformations.

The fourth session, coordinated by Jagiellonian University, provided an in-depth look at the link between gender, ethics, and innovation in education on energy-related topics. Following a lecture on the Gendered Innovations framework, participants worked on identifying biases in educational materials and designed inclusive school modules on energy and gender equality. The day continued with the module organized by Imperial, and based on the SHIFTs project, the module offers tools to integrate the Gender Innovation Framework into energy research and policy.
The final day, organized by Portia, focused on case studies and discussions to analyze how social inequalities influence the goals of the transition toward green and renewable systems, including a dialogue with experts in communication, publishing, and scientific editing.

The following external faculty collaborated in the workshops:

Joy Clancy, Twente University
Saska Petrova, University of Manchester
Deborah Logan, Publishing director Elsevier
Lena Hartog, Utrecht University
Gordon Akon-Yamaga, CSIR-Science and Technology Policy Research Institute
Hanna Szabo, Freie Universität Berlin
Giulia Tregnago, Senior Editor at Nature Energy.

Social farming between new and old social work practices, theoretical perspectives, and policy innovations

Welfare e Ergonomia Issue 1/2025
edited by Angela Genova and Tiziana Tarsia

“Social farming between new and old social work practices, theoretical perspectives, and policy innovations,” edited by Angela Genova and Tiziana Tarsia, provides an opportunity to reflect on social farming practices 10 years after its legal recognition and regulatory codification in Italy through Law 141 of 2015, “Provisions regarding social farming.”

The contributions in Issue 1/2025 of Welfare e Ergonomia offer useful perspectives for examining the roles and functions of social farming in Italy, highlighting the tensions between different models and the need to create synergies for local development. They emphasize the importance of evaluating activities and recognizing them as therapeutic-rehabilitative tools. Finally, they highlight the regenerative value of social farming for communities and its contribution to improving living conditions within territories.
