According to the European Union, dissemination means sharing research results with potential users and peers – from research, industry, and policy-making fields – and contribute to the progress of science in general.
In this page you will find three kinds of dissemination activities:
- Participation to international academic conferences;
- Conferences’ organization;
- Ad-hoc seminars for the academic community.
Scientific publication (also a form of dissemination), are listed in a separate page of this website.
Participation to conferences
I value scientific conferences for the opportunity to: a) disseminate projects and findings; b) collect useful feedback and constructive criticism; c) learn from other colleagues at the science-policy-practice interface; d) get inspired by action-oriented approaches, through hands-on laboratories, workshops, and artistic sessions; e) weave relations with like-minded minds and hearts from across the world.
To reduce my carbon footprint, I participate to few in-presence conferences, I possibly travel sustainably, or choose to participate only online.
Below is a list of the conferences, events, and dissemination seminars where I shared my work (last updated in June 2024).

Organization of conferences
Susplace Final Event (2019)
I was part of both Scientific and Organizing Committees of the Final Event of the EU-funded project SUSPLACE (short for Sustainable Place Shaping). The Event was titled “Exploring places & practices through transformative methods”. It brought together around 70 international participants, spanning science, practice, art, and policy sectors. We designed a dynamic program, with plenaries, panel discussions, artistic expressions and performances, and field trips to Finnish case studies. All activities were structured according to three underlying themes:
- Disruptive and creative methods
- Engaging people
- Ethical doings
A Visual Story of the Event can be found at this link, highlights from the different sessions can be viewed here, and snapshots of the three days can be seen at this link.
Glocom Final Event (2014)
As Project Manager of the EU-funded project GLOCOM (Global Partners in Contaminated Land Management), I co-organized the final international conference of the event, titled “Common Understanding of the Environmental Pollution: Challenges & Perspectives for EU-China Cooperation”. The conference took place in Beijing, in September 2015. It brought together project partners from Beijing Normal University (BNU), Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES), Swedish, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (UNIVE), and Umea University – Sweden (UmU).
Aree Fragili (2023)
In 2023, I was a member of the Organizing Committee of the Convegno Aree Fragili 2023 “Social farming and labour in fragile rural areas”, (Rovigo, IT, 24-24/03/2023).
