Urban Nature 2018, at the Parco del Valentino will take place the Biodiversity Festival

Urban Nature is ready to spread all over Italian cities and parks. In 2018 the event will take place on Sunday 7th October and will be entirely about urban nature. With this event, WWF Italy wants to invite citizens to explore the cities they live in, getting to know and “rebuilding” the biodiversity of Italian big cities.

On the side of the little ones

This year the event wants to point out the effects of an artificialized lifestyle on children, starting also from the proposals of young people, which want to give value to the urban biodiversity and conceive solutions to be proposed to managers, communities, citizens, companies, universities and schools.

The topic of Urban Nature 2018 comes from an alarming observation: our cities are not designed for children. About 80% of urban public space is occupied by car traffic and this isolates children in city parks, the only areas that are protected and suitable for them, even though they are often too little and badly-kept.

It’s exactly very young citizens, especially the more underprivileged ones, who need a constant contact with nature. In fact, there are many studies which demonstrate how the presence of green areas in residential districts is fundamental to ensure the psycho-physical well-being of children and the way they relate to others. Therefore, improving from this point of view means improving the quality of childhood in cities.

Citizens are the main characters

The section of the website of WWF Italy about Urban Nature shows the initiatives and activities which want to make citizens the main characters of this big festival of urban biodiversity: In fact, each of us can do something for the nature in the city every day. Find out how to contribute, starting from the building of a little birdhouse!

Urban Nature in Turin

Sunday 7th October, also Turin will invite all the citizens to the biodiversity festival. WWF YOUng, a community of young people between 18 and 35 years old who have nature and a sustainable future at heart, invite everyone at the Parco del Valentino (Viale Mattioli) for the event of WWF Urban Nature in Turin. The scheduled activities are rich and biodiverse. From 2 to 6 pm will take place the market of aromatic plants and educational laboratories for children. From 3pm, with the kids of WWF YOUng, will start a cleaning marathon of the Parco del Valentino, followed by the “Guerrilla Gardening” with seed bombs.

Poster competition - Mobilità sostenibile, innovazione tecnica

On 15th and 16th November, at the Campus Luigi Einaudi in Turin, there will be the third Forum Ferdinando Rossi, on the topic of the sustainable mobility, called “Via di mezzo, mobilità sostenibile e territori“. (“Middle course, sustainable mobility and territories”)

Program of the event

The first day, on 15th November, is called “Best practices e prospettive future”(best practices and future perspectives) and there will be some academic meetings, which will examine the topic trough different fields: from ecology to public health, from economics to social sciences, from transport planning to technological innovation and this will allow an interdisciplinary approach.

The second day, on 16th November, is called “Politiche del territorio” (policies of the territory) and there will be a round-table conference, where will be present university students enrolled in Scuole di Studi Superiori or Collegi di merito and it will be coordinated by an expert of the topic.

The Poster Competition

At the event there will be a Poster Competition “Innovazione tecnica”, addressed to Piedmontese startups, PhD students, researchers and master’s student of Piedmontese universities.

With “sustainable mobility” we mean means of transport which reduce the environmental, social, physics and economical impact produced by means of transport. The subject is very topical and always more central. It is also highly interdisciplinary thanks to its relevance in different fields: from ecology to public health, from economics to mathematical models, from urban anthropology to social sciences, from transport planning to technological innovation.

Early in the afternoon of the second day, the winner will have the opportunity to present its work.

In the public notice you will find the details on how to participate

Where do our thoughts come from? New perspectives by quantum physics

1
28 September 2018 / in Events / by

How is the brain organized from the hierarchical point of view and how complex is its functioning? What is the link between the mind and the brain and where do our thoughts come from? Modern neurosciences propose a multi-line approach in order to answer these questions. This approach involves the molecular aspects, but also the psychological, psychiatric and pharmacological ones.

The Summer School “Brain and Gut Neuroscience: From Molecules to Mood”, organized by the Research Institute for Quantitative and Quantum Dynamics of Living Organisms – Center for Medicine, Mathematics & Philosophy Studies together with Bromatech, Politecnico di Torino, Società Italiana di Biologia Sperimentale, wants to present a complete vision of the human brain from both the hierarchical and the functional point of view.

The hypotheses of the cognitive neuroscience use theoretic suppositions of the physics of the XIX century. Specifically, the neural net models of the “emerging conscious experience” are based on analogies with the relationships between crystal molecules, fluids and gases and use chemical hypotheses about the appearance of thoughts, states of mind and perceptions starting from the chemical modulation of the synaptic interaction in neurons.

However, the science of the XX and XXI centuries offers probabilistic perspectives from where to study the link between the mind and the brain. The quantum mechanics and the quantum field theory gave the physicists more “degrees of freedom”.  Relatively new derivations of the quantum physics are the quantum information theory, the quantum cryptography and the quantum computing that, together with the so-called quantum biology, pave the way for new cognitive paradigm and a new psychological literature.

The study of these theories can offer new perspectives for the research on the genesis and the nature of mental illnesses.

The course will be given at the Politecnico, from 26th to 31st August  and 50 doctors from all over Italy and about 15 students of technical and physical subjects will come to Turin. They will be discussing this topic with 15 international speakers. Among them there will be Ted Dinan (Ireland), Gustav Bernroider (Austria), Paavo Pylkkanen (Finland), Mark Rasenick (Chicago, USA) and Italian lecturers Massimo Cocchi , Francesco Cappello, Giuseppe Vitiello and Alessandro Vercelli.

The following events cost €60 for all ten lessons, € 50 for IUSTO students, university students or ex IUSTO students, or € 10 for the single lesson.

Under many activities, IUSTO wants to offer its students, and also other young people of Turin, a space for the understanding of politics.
In fact, it is quite common to see how not only don’t the latest generations commit in politics, but they also detach themselves from the political commitment in the city and for the city. This is the reason why it has been decided to hold ten events for university students, starting from October till December 2018. Every event will last two hours and they will be on key concepts of politics, such as: revolution, conservatism, reaction, resurgence; freedom, authority, power; State, religion and civil religion; ideology and reality; science and politics beyond positivism, masses and ruling classes; Europe and nations; change and progress; information and manipulation. In short an actual course on the basis of politics.

All participants have to be confirmed online. You will find further information and the accurate program with the dates of the lessons here.

100 years after the death of Apollinaire

9th November 1918 the French great poet, playwright and writer Apollinaire died. The Alliance, together with the Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici of the University of Turin, the “Centre for Modern European Literature” of the Kent University (UK), and the department of “Lettres modernes” of the Paris Nanterre University, organises some initiatives to illustrate the experiences of the first historic avant-gardes in Paris during the First World War.

There will be three events:

  • An international conference at the Rettorato dell’Università degli Studi di Torino with the title Métamorphoses d’Apollinaire- Metamorfosi di Apollinaire. The academic rendezvous, which will take place Monday 22nd and Tuesday 23rd October 2018 in the Sala Principe d’Acaja del Rettorato, wants to analyse and compare how the work of Apollinaire was accepted during his life and in the decades that followed, till today. How did the pseudonymity, the faces and the masks that the poet wore encourage an acceptance made of evolution, continuity, breakings, metamorphosis and transformations? These questions will inspire the conference Métamorphoses d’Apollinaire – Metamorfosi di Apollinaire, which will involve scholars from national and international research centers. The person to refer to about the event is Franca Bruera of the Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici of the Università di Torino.
  • An exhibition at the GAM with the title Apollinaire e le avanguardie europee, in the Wunderkammer of the Galleria d’Arte Moderna of Turin. You can visit it from 4:30 p.m. of Monday 22nd October 2018.
  • A show at the Teatro Gobetti /Teatro Stabile di Torino. The pièce, Les Mamelles de Tirésias of the playwright Apollinaire, will take place Monday 22nd October, at 7:30 p.m. at the Teatro Gobetti in Via Rossini 8. The show will be in French with Italian subtitles.
