The EU2014 conference The Empowerment of the Next Generation of Researchers Promoting talents, spreading excellence will take place in the city of Trento from 18 to 19 November 2014 and is organised by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research in collaboration with the Autonomous Province of Trento.

The overall theme is to discuss and reflect on how programmes for researcher training, recruitment and career development empower the next generation of researchers to be successful, no matter how society and the economy evolve. Key elements will be explored from this angle such as skills, mobility, and gender issues as well as the interaction between academia and industry sectors. The conference will focus on the roles of policy-makers, funders and businesses contributing to research training, working together with universities and research institutions.

The participants will gather for one-and-a-half days at the premises of the University of Trento, for a programme divided into three main parts. Initially the conference will update participants on recent political initiatives on research training undertaken by the EU institutions. The conference will then offer a number of professionally facilitated workshops with different subthemes within the conference topic, during which the participants will exchange knowledge and experiences and engage in discussions to develop ideas for future actions and recommendations:

• Training and supporting researchers in a changing world
• Multi-sectoral career paths: promoting and assessing professional development
• Attractive working and social security conditions in Europe for ANY talented researcher
• A win-win collaboration between academia and beyond

High-level speakers such as the Italian Minister of Education, Universities and Research, the appropriate EU Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, and Authorities of the Autonomous Province of Trento will open the conference and participate in the Awards Ceremony of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions Prizes that will follow.

Participation to the ENGRes2014 is free of charge.

On the occasion of the 450th anniversary of the birth of Galileo Galilei, the Italian Embassy in Washington and the Georgetown University Italian Research Institute are organizing an event focused on the theme of innovation and scientific research, during the semester of the Italian Presidency of the European Union.

The initiative is based on a series of lectures by prominent scholars and scientists, an exhibit, and a play.

The lectures will emphasize the methodologies introduced by Galileo himself to the search for a knowledge of reality that is objectively verifiable and acceptable. Well-known Italian researchers working in both the U.S. and Europe will talk about the excellence of Italian scientific research.

A corner exhibit dedicated to Galileo will be enriched with some items from the Museo Galileo in Florence, the Fondazione Pisa, the National Gallery of Art and the Library of Congress in Washington, as well as original documents coming from the Domus Galilaeana in Pisa.

"We are extremely proud of our work at the Association of Italian Canadian Writers, a volunteer-based group founded in 1986," said Dr. Licia Canton, President of the AICW. "Our 15th biennial conference, held earlier this month in Montreal, was very successful with speakers from across Canada, Europe and the United States. The AICW emphasizes the work of creative individuals – writers – who often work on the periphery of the Italian Canadian com­munity. We are pleased to reach new audiences during Books and Biscotti events across Canada."

Licia Canton has recently published the anthology Conspicuous Accents (Longbridge Books, 2014) which features 42 stories by 35 authors, most of Italian heritage. She has been president of the Association of Italian Canadian Writers (AICW) since 2010. The AICW will organize activities at Montreal's Italian Week in August and Toronto's International Book Fair in November.

Founded in 1986, the Association of Italian Canadian Writers brings together a community of writers, critics, academics, and other artists and promotes Italian Canadian literature and culture within an ethnoculturally diverse society. The AICW is a nonprofit organization.

La grande sfida consiste nello stabilizzare il sistema finanziario ed economico a breve termine, adottando nel contempo le misure per creare le opportunità economiche di domani. Il consolidamento dei bilanci pubblici e le riforme strutturali sono necessari ma non sufficienti per garantire la competitività globale dell'Europa. Gli investimenti intelligenti, in particolare nella ricerca e nell'innovazione, sono fondamentali per conservare un alto livello di vita e contribuiscono a creare posti di lavoro, ad aumentare la prosperità, generano i progressi scientifici e tecnologici, necessari per affrontare le sfide prementi della società.

International bilateral cooperation between Italy and Canada in scientific research and technology innovation is one of the priorities of Italy's foreign policy, in order to ensure, through Italian know-how, the country's competitive abilities and the development of advanced production industries.

The goal of this meeting of experts is to highlight Canada's excellent capabilities in nutrition, as well as Italian areas of excellence in nutrition, food packaging, genomics, traceability, and the history of nutrition. Another aim is to increase awareness of the Canadian and Italian scientific communities, with a view to promoting innovation development at the international level and further enhancing bilateral cooperation between Italian and Canadian research centres and universities in a European context.

L'attenzione dell'Europa alle PMI è sempre alta come testimonia l'impegno preso con l'Italia per liquidare il debito commerciale dello Stato verso le imprese e dar loro respiro.

Dall'analisi della resa innovativa degli Stati Membri nel 2012 l'Italia risulta tra gli "Innovatori Moderati" insieme a Portogallo, Repubblica ceca, Grecia e altri dopo i paesi "Leader dell'innovazione" (Svezia, Germania, Danimarca e Finlandia) e i "Paesi che tengono il passo" (Paesi Bassi, Belgio, Regno Unito, Austria, Cipro, Estonia e altri). L'analisi "Innovation Union Scoreboard 2013" dimostra che i paesi con più alto tasso di innovazione sono i paesi economicamente in salute.

Come fare ad aumentare la resa innovativa delle nostre imprese?
Come renderle stabili economicamente e sul mercato?

La Commissione Europea sta realizzando una piattaforma e-Learning sull'Innovazione per le PMI poiché ritiene sia una strategia di lungo termine di successo. Il primo passo per parteciparvi è rispondere al questionario on-line. Nei prossimi mesi sarai invitato/a a seguire il corso on-line sull'Innovazione per Piccole e Medie Imprese.

Compilare il questionario ti impegnerà 10 minuti al massimo, ma potrebbe valere molto per futuro della tua azienda.

Canada and Italy are two of the world's most advanced economies, and the sources of many great innovations. Partnerships among students, researchers and inventors from these two countries stretch back generations, with a proven record of successful collaboration and world-changing invention.

Ricercatori nel mondo Innovitalia.net e la piattaforma voluta dal Ministero degli Affari Esteri e il Ministero dell'Istruzione, Universita e della Ricerca per facilitare uno scambio bidirezionale tra ricercatori nel mondo e paese. Rappresenta un luogo per massimizzare l'impatto dell'esperienza e del capitale umano, culturale e disciplinare dei ricercatori italiani nel mondo.

Il paradosso e evidente: in un'Italia che crede cosi poco alla scienza da essere diventata fanalino di coda tra i paesi europei per gli investimenti in ricerca, ci sono moltissime persone che alla scienza ci credono. Alcune di queste persone sono giovani e la scienza la vogliono soprattutto raccontare. Questo spazio sara il loro spazio.
