An international project led by the University of Warsaw, with the contribution of CNR ISPC, uses non-invasive technologies to reconstruct the earliest phases of the Inca capital

The European project Beyond EPICA – Oldest Ice has achieved a remarkable scientific and logistical milestone by extracting the most detailed archive of climate and environmental history from an Antarctic ice core spanning 1.2 million years. In the recent campaign, researchers recovered rock fragments and collected additional ice core sections at a critical depth. Ongoing analyses are expected to provide data crucial for understanding the Mid-Pleistocene Transition, a significant phase in Earth’s climate development. Led by the Institute of Polar Sciences at the National Research Council (CNR-ISP), this project stands as one of the most ambitious efforts in palaeoclimatology 

The Recent Advances in Computer-aided Spectroscopy 2026 workshop (RACS 2026) will take place in the beautiful city of Modena, Italy on 8-11 June 2026. The event welcomes contributions spanning the full spectrum of computational spectroscopy, from fundamental theory to practical applications. A key focus will be the growing synergy between experiment and simulation, highlighting their integration and complementarity in advancing spectroscopic research

Hosted in collaboration with CNR, this symposium organised by Human Frontier Science Program will present the current state of knowledge and applications that are used in life science research and that will drive the innovation economy of the future

Save the date! The third call for access to the R/V Gaia Blu will officially open on May 4, 2026. The call will provide all the necessary information for submitting research proposals for the 2027–2028 period, including application procedures, requirements, and updated documentation

On March 10th 2026, the conference I Linguaggi dell’Accessibilità e la Fruizione Ampliata del Patrimonio Culturale (The Languages of Accessibility and the Inclusive Enjoyment of Cultural Heritage) was held at the Department of Humanities of the University of Macerata. The event aimed at offering a day of study by providing analytical insights and opportunities for reflection on the many issues connected to the enhancement and valorization of Cultural Heritage sites, especially in relation to disabilities

Wildfires, windstorms, and outbreaks of wood-boring insects such as bark beetles are increasingly affecting European forests, altering their structure and reducing the ecosystem services they provide. A new international study published in Science, involving the Institute for Agricultural and Forestry Systems in the Mediterranean of the National Research Council of Italy, provides the most comprehensive assessment to date of how forest disturbances in Europe may evolve through 2100 under different climate scenarios

The Italian Air Force, the National Research Council of Italy (CNR), and Prada Group will host two days of events in Rome on 13 and 14 April to celebrate the centenary of the first historic flight over the North Pole by General Umberto Nobile. To mark the occasion, the Historical Museum of the Italian Air Force will inaugurate a photographic exhibition featuring original images from Umberto Nobile’s expedition alongside contemporary works by climate artist Enzo Barracco
