SSI Environmental Protection AssociationAs an environmental protection association, the Italian Speleological Society - Third Sector Organization makes a constant commitment to safeguarding the karst-speleological heritage with scientific research programs and control actions on the state of health and protection of karst and underground environments.Through studies and analyzes of compatibility in the underground and epigean karst environment, it is a partner of organizations and institutions that seek data, information and methods to add essential knowledge to the rational management of environmental and landscape resources.The Italian Speleological Society ETS has also focused its attention on the problem of water resources for some time, aware of the fact that in the near future waters of karst origin will be increasingly important for their use.Aware of the importance of this issue, bodies dedicated to environmental protection have created the Committee for the Global Water Contract.In this context, the Italian Speleological Society ETS promotes and coordinates the National Speleology Days and Let's Clean the Dark, initiatives aimed at promoting knowledge of the karst territories and raising awareness for the correct management of our country's underground water heritage.Since 11 January 2008, the Italian Speleological Society has become part of the Italian Commission for the coordination of the IYPE - International Year of Planet Earth. The Italian Speleological Society recommends to all explorers and visitors to the underground world the adoption of techniques and procedures aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of exploration or simple visits, such as the protocol to combat the spread of White Nose Syndrome , applicable to normal speleological activity.

TETIDE is a Social Promotion Association with the aim of safeguarding the underground and epigean karst environment, of encouraging the valorisation and promotion of the territory, also providing technical support for the training and professional qualification of operators and speleological guides as well as involving and orienting the institutions, social and economic forces towards legislation, programs, agreements and projects, consistent with the aims of the Association. The social activities will also be aimed at extra-regional territories with the aim of making known and disseminating the speleological activity of the Mediterranean countries, taking into consideration Speleology in all its different cultural and technical expressions, which have manifested themselves over time in a large territory. and complex as the Mediterranean basin is. The Association also intends to avail itself of the collaboration of professionals and researchers from the various disciplines involved, without neglecting the interdisciplinary nature that speleological research requires, such as: archeology and paleontology for the wealth of finds that the caves preserve and guard, the anthropology and the history of art for the historical and artistic interest expressed by the artificial cavities, as well as by the rock settlements that so characterize and unite Mediterranean cultures, underwater speleology for the presence of coastal caves that can only be explored thanks to this complex discipline, biospeleology for the richness and environmental importance of underground biodiversity and last, but not least, the geology and study of the territory for the protection of karst and karst aquifers which are the precious water reserves of our territories, too often irresponsibly vandalized by disorderly anthropization. TETIDE APS wants to promote Mediterranean Speleologies, in which speleological exploration and dissemination become communities of study, of intent, of cultures and of approaches unique to the world.

We promote and support the implementation of the UN Security Council Resolutions for “Youth, Peace and Security” and “Women, Peace and Security“, and the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda to build more inclusive and peaceful societies.

L'Università Bocconi nasce come apertura alla modernità, come atto di fiducia nel progresso e nella sua stretta relazione con l'avanzamento della conoscenza, sempre in dialogo con il mondo esterno. Ferdinando Bocconi, precursore in Italia della grande distribuzione, decise di legare i suoi beni e il nome della sua famiglia a una prestigiosa istituzione formativa, in memoria del figlio Luigi. Leopoldo Sabbatini, autore del programma formativo, primo presidente e rettore dell'Ateneo, ricorda nei suoi scritti i meriti di Ferdinando Bocconi: l'aver impostato gli studi universitari bocconiani rispettando "l'armonia fra la scuola e la vita", e aver intuito l'importanza del ruolo della cultura e della scienza come fondamento della crescita economica e morale della nazione. Dopo un secolo dalla fondazione, i valori che hanno ispirato i fondatori dell'Università Bocconi sono rimasti intatti e continuano a vivere nelle attività dell'Ateneo. Dal 1955 l'Istituto Javotte Bocconi - Associazione Amici della Bocconi, fondazione dell'Università Bocconi è principale riferimento delle scelte strategiche e di governance dell'ateneo milanese. Dalla sua fondazione, l'Istituto sostiene economicamente l'ateneo in diverse forme e tramanda alle giovani generazioni l'impegno della famiglia Bocconi nell'esperienza educativa. Inoltre veglia affinchè tale impegno sia costantemente realizzato dal governo accademico nel modo migliore e più efficace.

  Vista di Ancona Ancona , quale sede universitaria, è una realtà relativamente recente, conseguente ad un lungo processo di realizzazione di aspirazioni e motivazioni culturali, sociali, economiche, storiche. Ancona, già nel Medioevo sede di una Scuola di Diritto ottenne da Papa Pio V nel 1562 l'autorizzazione ad istituire uno "Studium Generale cuiuscumque Facultatis et Scientiae", con la Facoltà di Diritto Civile e Canonico e di Teologia, con la possibilità inoltre di istituire altre Facoltà. Il collegio dei dottori aveva potestà di conferire i vari gradi accademici. Ai dottori e agli studenti venivano altresì riconosciuti privilegi, prerogative, immunità propri degli altri Studi Generali, quali quelli di Bologna e Padova. Il nuovo Studium caratterizzato per un secolo da fervore di studi, subì un declino progressivo nella seconda metà del XVII secolo per l'attrazione esercitata sui giovani delle famiglie benestanti della città dai più famosi Studi di Roma e Bologna. Tale declino culminò nel 1739 con una prima chiusura dello Studium.   Rettorato Nel 1746, su delibera del Consiglio Comunale, approvata da Papa Benedetto XIV, venne nuovamente attivata la cattedra di Diritto Civile e Canonico, cattedra la cui breve vita ebbe termine con i grandi rivolgimenti politici degli anni 1797-1799. Le aspirazioni universitarie di Ancona, per lungo tempo apparentemente sopite, riemersero al termine della prima Guerra Mondiale, dapprima incerte e confuse, successivamente con contorni più precisi, inquadrata in sempre più razionale coscienza dell'intera problematica universitaria regionale. Le fasi successive, durate fino al termine degli anni 20, furono contrassegnate da proposte diverse, mai giunte alla fase di realizzazione, quali la creazione di una Confederazione universitaria regionale, con Rettorato ad Ancona, con la presenza nella stessa città del triennio clinico di medicina e di una non meglio definita Scuola Superiore di Commercio. Dall'inizio degli anni 30 il disegno di un'intesa regionale su una programmazione universitaria globale che prevedesse la realizzazione anche ad Ancona di una Università trovò illuminati e strenui propugnatori nei soci e nel presidente dell'Istituto Marchigiano di Scienze Lettere ed Arti, istituito nel capoluogo nel 1925.       Municipio Il paziente lavoro istruttivo e propositivo, interrotto dagli eventi della seconda Guerra Mondiale, venne ripreso nel dopoguerra e tra proposte, richieste, opposizioni, prese di posizione campanilistiche, silenzi e dinieghi ministeriali, si giunse nel 1969 alla istituzione della Libera Università di Ancona, nonché il relativo statuto, con l'attivazione del primo biennio della Facoltà di Ingegneria e del triennio biologico della Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia, da parte del  Consiglio Direttivo del Consorzio costituito costituito tra Comune, Amministrazione Provinciale, Camera di Commercio, e presieduto e stimolato dal professor Trifogli. Il consiglio Superiore della Pubblica Istruzione espresse successivamente parere favorevole, autorizzando l'attivazione della Facoltà di Ingegneria per L'Anno Accademico 1969-70 e di quella di Medicina per l'anno successivo. Era così nata ad Ancona la Libera Università, riconosciuta definitivamente come Università statale in tempi molto brevi, ed esattamente il 18 gennaio 1971.       Polo Villarey La città di Ancona divenne finalmente sede Universitaria, con due Facoltà proprie, alle quali venne in seguito aggregata anche la Facoltà di Economia e Commercio. Nell'Anno Accademico 1988-89 venne istituita la Facoltà di Agraria (corso di laurea in Scienze Agrarie) e, nell'Anno Accademico 1991- 92, la Facoltà di Scienze Matematiche Fisiche e Naturali (corso di Laurea in Biologia Generale con indirizzi in Biologia Marina ed Oceanografica ed in Biotecnologie). Sono attivi nelle cinque Facoltà  22 corsi di Laurea triennale di primo livello, 17 corsi di Laurea Specialistica biennale di secondo livello, 3 lauree Magistrali a ciclo unico, 35 scuole di specializzazione , 20 dottorati di ricerca con sede amministrativa ad Ancona o in sede distaccata a Ascoli Piceno, Fermo, Macerata, Pesaro, San Benedetto del Tronto. La popolazione studentesca, dalle iniziali 290 matricole dell'anno '69-'70 è andata progressivamente aumentando fino a superare le sedicimilacinquecento unità. Il personale dell'Ateneo è attualmente costituito da un Corpo Accademico di 545 professori e ricercatori e da 610 Collaboratori tecnici e amministrativi.       Polo Monte Dago Le attività didattica e di ricerca, all'inizio ospitate in sedi diverse, spesso inadeguate ed insufficienti, trovano attualmente una sistemazione tripolare: un polo scientifico e tecnologico in località Monte Dago, in un complesso di edifici tra i quali spicca la monumentale e prestigiosa opera progettata dall'architetto italo- americano Belluschi. Tale polo ospita la Facoltà d'Ingegneria, la Facoltà di Agraria, la Facoltà di Scienze. Nella stessa località si sta completando la struttura edilizia necessaria per soddisfare le necessità didattiche e scientifiche della nuova Facoltà biologica: un polo biologico, scientifico e sanitario in località Torrette è costituito da un complesso edilizio per le esigenze didattiche e di ricerca della Facoltà di Medicina; un polo economico , nel centro storico della città, che si identifica con la Facoltà di Economia , che ha sede nello splendido edificio restaurato dell'ottocentesca caserma Villarey. L'attività amministrativa e di coordinamento trova la sua ideale collocazione logistica, nell'Ottocentesco Palazzo in Piazza Roma, sede del Rettorato e della Direzione Amministrativa, in stretta vicinanza con altri edifici in cui trovano spazi per la loro attività i rimanenti servizi ;       Polo Torrette Il patrimonio edilizio è completato dagli insediamenti ed impianti sportivi in località Posatora, nella vasta area ex sede della Facoltà di Medicina, distrutta dalla rovinosa frana nel 1982. Nella medesima area è stato progettato un moderno orto botanico, quale completamento, insieme all'Azienda Agraria, già attiva nel vicino comune di Agugliano, delle esigenze didattico-scientifiche della Facoltà di Agraria. Si prevede inoltre, in tempi medio-lunghi, la completa ristrutturazione della ex caserma Stamira, l'ultima acquisizione dell'Università dorica e si ipotizza il suo utilizzo come foresteria per studenti e studiosi di altre Università anche non italiane, che sempre più numerosi frequentano gli Istituti e Dipartimenti nell'ambito di progetti nazionali ed internazionali di aggiornamento e ricerca. In data 18 gennaio 2003 l'Università degli Studi di Ancona ha cambiato denominazione in "Università Politecnica delle Marche".

GAPP  is a 45 month Joint Action funded by the EU Health programme aiming at facilitating the development of a common and optimal approach to assess and authorize preparation processes in blood and tissues establishments (BEs and TEs), adapting requirements as prescribed by Article 29 of Directive 2002/98/EC and Article 28 of Directive 2004/23/EC .   This Joint Action will clearly contribute to the implementation of Union legislation in the fields of human tissues and cells, blood, providing tools and training to increase harmonisation of those MS activities that regulate the areas of blood transfusion, transplantation of tissues and cells and assisted reproduction, in strong abidance with art of Annex I of Regulation 282/2014. These are fields of healthcare that involve a considerable amount of movement of donated substances of human origin between MS and also movement of citizens between MS for treatment, particularly in the field of assisted ; Since the directives for these fields were adopted, significant technical developments have taken place and the complexity of preparation processes has greatly increased. Increasing complexity of processing can bring significant quality and functionality improvements for patients, and/or more efficient use of donations, but it can also bring increased risk, particularly as the level of complexity brings the final product towards the borderline with medicinal products. GAPP will ensure that any possible advantage or outcome is taken into account from two ongoing Public Health Programme projects focused on tissues and cells (EuroGTP II and ECCTR) incorporating a need for clinical follow-up data as part of a comprehensive process authorization. GAPP durable output is that a concept of a knowledge sharing platform on PPAs will be developed and fed in order to facilitate sharing of information among European Union, Competent Authorities and all EU CA inspectors and assessors will be trained specifically to assess and authorize preparation processes of tissues, cells, reproductive cells and blood products.

The MiRI Project (co-funded by the European Union Justice Programme 2014-2020, JUST-JCOO-AG-2018, under Grant Agreement No 831608​) aims at identifying national current practices regarding the right of the child to be informed in civil proceedings, so as to identify common best practices and create guidelines that might or should be applied in all EU Member States, also with the objective of harmonizing and integrating their national systems, both form a procedural and substantive perspective, as much as possible. The most innovative aspect of the project is the elaboration of common best practices on the child’s information in proceedings: even if the need has been highlighted by numerous studies on children’s fundamental rights in civil proceedings, a consensus on the content of such practices still seems not to have been reached in domestic MSs legislation, as the necessary pre-emptive research to find possible common grounds is still lacking. Participants: University of Genoa, Coordinator (Scientific Responsible Prof. Ilaria Queirolo); Universitat De Valencia; Institute of Private International Law Sofia; Sia Biznesa Augstskola Turiba (Latvia); Defence for Children International Italy; European Association For Family And Succession Law. Duration: – (24 months)

L’Istituto Nazionale Arte Cultura Spettacolo (INACS) si costituisce per dar vita ad un ben preciso e delineato progetto di sviluppo, promozione, diffusione e rivalutazione dell’Arte, dello Spettacolo e della Cultura italiana, partendo dalle piccole realtà locali. Dal 2009 – anno della sua fondazione – l’INACS sta lavorando per contribuire alla rinascita della città di Angri (città in cui è ubicata la sede legale) e di tutto il comprensorio dell’Agro Nocerino Sarnese, dal punto di vista artistico e culturale, e di conseguenza anche dal punto di vista commerciale, turistico, scientifico, religioso e sociale. L’Associazione nasce quando nei soci fondatori prende vita la voglia e la necessità di organizzare una serie di manifestazioni che riportino al centro del mondo tutto ciò che è “Angri e Agro Nocerino Sarnese”.

ERNAPE is an association of networks organised by areas. Each network is autonomous. In October 1993, with financial support from the European Commission, a group of researchers working in the field of parents in education in different parts of Europe met in Glasgow to discuss how to increase contact across Europe, to exchange knowledge of research developments in Europe and to stimulate research about parents in education at all levels, including intercultural European research.The group decided to establish ERNAPE (European Research Network About Parents in Education) and to organise this research network by language areas, rather than by countries.
