On Tuesday 18h February, at Assaggi bookstore in Rome, the science café "Migrant researchers" will be held.

Travelling and changing the place where to work is part of the life of a researcher. Which are the most favourite destinations and why? When such a mobility exceeds a certain amount of time, it becomes migration. Our country almost exclusively deals with exiting flows and whilst our researchers may reach high level positions in other countries, in our research centers it is difficult to see scientists from abroad. Mobility must be forerun, accompanied and followed by well defined political plans. What are the research policies in Italy, in Europe and in the rest of the world? And what about the returns in terms of innovation and, more generally, of social wealth?

These topics will be debated with Sveva Avveduto, sociologist, and Maria Carolina Brandi, geographer.

Question time with Pietro Greco, science journalist.

The event will be transmitted in live streaming on Scienceonthenet and on the Forma Scienza YouTube channel.

Europe votes on the new air quality directive

di Luca Carra

Pubblicato il 15/09/2023

The European Parliament's vote (and subsequently the Council of Europe's) on the new European Directive on air quality is expected for September 13. This directive updates the allowed atmospheric pollutant limits, bringing them closer to those established by the WHO in 2021. Resistance to the new objectives, mainly coming from the industrial world and established economic interests in certain regions, makes the outcome of the vote uncertain. However, there are no serious scientific or political reasons to oppose or attempt to dilute the more ambitious limits proposed by the new directive.

The new European Directive on air quality, currently under discussion in the European Parliament, updates the concentration limits of major air pollutants, bringing them closer to those set by the new guidelines of the World Health Organization (2021). The outcome of the vote, scheduled for September 13, is uncertain.
