The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound.

Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

See some photos and learn more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/letizia-battaglia-groundbreaking-photojournalist-who-fearlessly-documented-the-mafia-in-her-native-sicilySardiniaSardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, is a rugged, rural paradise known for its natural beauty, deep-rooted traditions, and ancient history. The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

Met cross-overs tussen theater en cabaret zijn de voorstellingen van Kim Karssen even grappig als confronterend. In We're all alone in this together (2024) vergaat het publiek langzaam het lachen wanneer haar voorstelling ongekend pijnlijk laat zien hoe de ongelijkheid tussen man en vrouw kan doorwerken in een creatief proces. Volgens de Volkskrant was het de beste voorstelling van het seizoen.Programmamaker Veronica Baas gaat met Kim Karssen in gesprek over haar maakproces, wat haar inspiratiebronnen zijn en hoe je uit je kwetsbaarheden kunt putten. En waarom zijn haar voorstellingen soms zo talig en soms zo stil? Een gesprek over maken, spelen en wat er komend seizoen op de planken komt. Kim Karssen (Amersfoort, 1996) is theatermaker en actrice. In 2019 studeerde ze af aan de performanceopleiding van de Toneelschool Maastricht. Na haar afstuderen maakte ze samen met theatermaker Florian Myjer verschillende voorstellingen. In 2021 speelt ze haar eerste solovoorstelling De Grap. Sinds 2022 is Karssen verbonden aan Frascati producties. Met We're all alone in this together (2024) werd Karssen genomineerd voor de BNG Bank Theaterprijs 2024.Interview door programmamaker Veronica BaasDe podcast wordt geïntroduceerd door programmamaker Kees Foekema.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Singer/ guitarist Richard and drummer Pete were introduced to bassist Alan by some HCE fans at St Paul's Arts Centre later that year, and The Anyways' core trio was born. Their goal was to wear black and sound like The Velvet Underground, but luckily they got it slightly wrong and ended up sounding like themselves (while still wearing black). Jennie used to read the newspaper onstage and on one occasion shorted out the keyboard by pouring fizzy pop into it. Trudy, a volunteer mental health worker, brought a big following from the Mill Drop-In Centre, to liven up the usual anoraked indie audience. Sounds reviewed the band's second gig, The Television Personalities offered support slots at the 100 Club in Oxford St, and Notown Records put out the first single, Confession, in 1987. Overcome by the excitement of being played on John Peel (once), Jennie left, and Ali took her place. The Anyways became regular performers at the Camden Falcon, where Bobby Gillespie told them they needed more guitar solos. Two tracks (no solos) were featured on The Jericho Collection in 1988 alongside Notown label-mates Shake Appeal (lots of solos). A video of rousing revolutionary anthem Levitate the Pentagon was shown on satellite TV at 2.00am. The Anyways played in Oxford, London, and Bristol with Talulah Gosh, Razorcuts, The Mission and Ride... and on their own at a Hindu wedding in Hendon (kicking off the evening with that cheery toe-tapper, Love Gone Bad). Band mantra Welcome to Psychedelic Country became even more appropriate when Hamish and Karen joined in 1990. An album (Love Lies) was recorded by Rich Haines at Dungeon Studios, but sadly not released. A swirling cover of George Harrison's If I needed someone graced a charity album called Revolution No. 9. Despite their sterling work on the swirling, Hamish and Karen decided to go more Country than Psychedelic, and left to form Lucky and The Losers in 1991. The final incarnation of The Anyways was completed by guitar maestro Mark, who had previously acted as friend and multi-tasking facilitator to the band for some time - in celebration, chilled Frascati was served to the new line-up onstage at the Zodiac in front of hundreds of delighted Heavenly fans. The Sunshine Down EP came out on Marineville Records in 1993, by which time Richard had received stage-fright counselling from Jonathan Richman and the band had supported Bad Manners at a college ball. Wider (not inspired by Buster Bloodvessel) was featured on the Days Spent Dreaming compilation. By now people wanted to spread their musical wings, so The Anyways' Grand Finale gig was held in 1994 at the Jericho Tavern (the band's spiritual home for many years).

ROMA (ITALPRESS) - "Lo spazio è sempre più una dimensione dominante, crescente per la vita dell'umanità. Da qui esce un messaggio di una volontà doverosa e ostinata perché lo spazio sia sempre un ambito di collaborazione scientifica e internazionale, sia un luogo comune dell'umanità. Questo è un messaggio fondamentale per il futuro della Terra e dell'umanità".

Weliswaar eentje die vaak over het hoofd wordt gezien en die belangrijk is. Maar ondanks dat: een diversiteitseis."Dit zijn de woorden van Eppo Bruins, de voormalige cultuurwoordvoerder van de Christenunie, die nu door de extreem-rechtse en inmiddels ongehoorde coalitie wordt voorgedragen als Minister van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap. Het tweetje uit januari viel niemand op, Bruins was nog een weinig uitgesproken cultuurwoordvoerder van een partij die bitter weinig bijdroeg aan de debatten over het onderwerp.   Uitgesprokener is Bruins de laatste tijd over het conflict in Gaza en de studentenprotesten op Nederlandse universiteiten. Onlangs keurde hij nog een actie van de KABK af: Bruins past qua opvattingen goed bij de uiterst rechtse signatuur van het beoogde Kabinet-Schoof, maar de kans dat de NSC'er een zware bezuiniging op de kunsten zal doorvoeren lijkt klein. Er klopt ook een Europees hart in de man, blijkt: We houden het in de gaten de komende tijd. Dat in de formatie van de afgelopen maanden koehandel (sic) heeft geregeerd is duidelijk. Wilders heeft zijn harde lijn op onder meer cultuur en media moeten inleveren, en krijgt daar een uitgesproken raciste op Ontwikkelingshulp voor terug. Inmiddels is ook de wegens wapenbezit veroordeelde beoogd minister Immigratie vervangen door omvolkingstheoretica en van fraude verdachte Marjolein Faber. Had iemand dit nog maar een jaar geleden voorspeld, hadden we die collectief voor gek verklaard. Maar we gaan door!En ondertussen is dus het Holland Festival in full swing, soms letterlijk. Met een jonger en diverser publiek dan eerdere edities. En veel frisse voorstellingen. Lees hier wat ik meemaakte. "Ik zat zaterdag 8 juni een kleine twee uur met een glimlach van oor tot oor op rij zes van het Amsterdamse Muziekgebouw. Festivalbezoekers naast en voor mij waren vooral boos, de rijen achterin  juichten uitgelaten. Vanaf de eerste rij van het balkon zag Prinses Beatrix (dit keer zonder alle koninklijke poespas) dat het goed was. Tot en met de razend ingewikkelde, stampende toegift": Muziek met ballen voor Beatrix op Holland Festival"Met Dans la Mesure de l'Impossible onderneemt Rodrigues een poging om de gruwelijke realiteit van oorlog en verwoesting tot ons door te laten dringen. In 2022, nog voor de Russen hun verwoesting van Oekraïne begonnen, en lang voordat we niet meer ver hoefden te klikken om ons al doomscrollend te laten overweldigen door de menselijke ramp in Gaza, interviewde Rodrigues samen met zijn acteurs een dertigtal hulpverleners van het Rode Kruis en Artsen zonder Grenzen." Stervende drummer zegt alles in Dans la Mesure de l'Impossible van Tiago Rodrigues in het Holland Festival"Jatahy, dit jaar ‘associate artist' van het Holland Festival, is een meester in het spelen met fantasie en werkelijkheid. Ze zet voor haar theater alle middelen in, van live muziek en dans tot film. In ‘Despois do Silencio' (Na de stilte) vormen in de Braziliaanse Bahia-regio opgenomen filmbeelden niet alleen een kleurrijke en betekenisverhogende achtergrond, ze zijn uiteindelijk ook de speelplek. Dat gebeurt wanneer ze een podiumbreed, precies op acteursformaat geprojecteerd dorpsfeest tonen, waar de live acteurs in het Amsterdamse theater Frascati naadloos in opgaan." Met Despois do Silencio dwingt Christiane Jatahy diep respect af op het Holland Festival.Dat was het voor deze week. Vergeet niet om lid te worden, als je dat nog niet was. Of een donatie te doen.Tot de volgende!Wijbrand SchaapPS: Hammarskjöld en operaOp het jubileumfestival van de Akademie van Kunsten gaat het eindelijk weer eens over hoe kunst en wetenschap onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden zijn. Dat vond ons Konijn van Olland (Lodewijk Napoleon) al, toen hij de KNAW begin negentiende eeuw oprichtte. Er is nu een festival om te vieren dat na een scheiding door steile Nederlandse calvinisten Kunsten en Wetenschap nu alweer tien jaar met elkaar samenwonen. Dat moet een huwelijk worden, zo ervoer ik. Neem Anthony Heidweiller, die zijn bewondering voor Oscar Hammarskjöld uitte in een spreekbeurt en een lied. Met zijn diepe bariton kropen opeens de rillingen over ieders rug in de statige rode zaal van het voormalige Rijksmuseum, nu vrij toegankelijk. Dat alleen al is wat kunst aan wetenschap toe te voegen heeft. Akademie van Kunsten festival - KNAWBertolt Brecht en contextDankzij DDR-archieven gingen we er lang van uit dat theatervernieuwer Bertolt Brecht een enorme verzameling plaatjes had opgebouwd, die vervolgens allemaal keurig na zijn dood zijn gecatalogiseerd.

Giugno 1981, campagne di Frascati. Migliaia di persone si radunano attorno a un pozzo e restano lì per ore e ore, nonostante il caldo e la stanchezza. Incastrato lì sotto, a più di 30 metri di profondità, c'è un bambino: Alfredo Rampi, che è lucido, parla, piange, urla. La vicenda viene trasmessa in tv in una diretta a reti unificate che dura 18 ore. Per 18 ore, fino al 13 giugno, 21 milioni di italiani non riescono a smettere di guardare quello che succede dentro quel pozzo. La tragedia di Vermicino ha sconvolto l'Italia e le riflessioni sugli errori e la disorganizzazione generale dei soccorsi hanno contribuito a cambiare per sempre il modo in cui il nostro Paese reagisce alle emergenze, sia a livello locale che nazionale.

La Terrazza Les Etoile è una location romantica dall'anima trasversale con affaccio mozzafiato su Roma. Simile a una sinfonia a “tre voci” la Terrazza si sviluppa tra il sesto, il settimo e l'ottavo piano dell'Atlante Star Hotel, un quattro stelle lusso, a un soffio dal Vaticano. Il Ristorante, il Rooftop Bar e il Roof Garden sono le sue tre chiavi di lettura.La Cupola di San Pietro si sfiora con un dito e la vista spazia a 360 gradi su Roma, galoppando dal Vaticano all'Osservatorio astronomico di Monte Mario, dal Parco di Villa Borghese a Villa Medici fino a sfiorare Piazza Venezia, il Gasometro, e sfumare tra le colline di Frascati. Simile a un ritrovo fuori dal tempo,

ROMA (ITALPRESS) - Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio, presidente della fondazione Univerde, già ministro dell'ambiente e promotore della rete Ecodigital, ha partecipato alla consegna del riconoscimento “Well” all'agenzia spaziale europea di Frascati e ha voluto rilanciare l'importanza di questa struttura. “I preziosi dati sul cambiamento climatico che vengono diffusi a livello mondiale provengono proprio dall'osservatorio sulla Terra di Frascati che elabora le informazioni provenienti dai satelliti Copernicus . Dobbiamo valorizzare e utilizzare di più questa eccellenza presente sul nostro territorio. Ed è motivo di orgoglio che un edificio dell'Esa abbia ricevuto, dopo quelle per la sostenibilità ambientale, la certificazione pensata per il benessere delle persone che vivono all'interno degli edifici, la Certificazione WELL (Well Building Standard) sulla salubrità e il benessere degli ambienti di lavoro con il più alto punteggio d'Europa.”"Ho apprezzato - aggiunge- il grande e meticoloso lavoro fatto dai dirigenti come Simonetta Cheli e Roberto Franciosi, dai loro collaboratori e dagli esperti esterni che hanno partecipato a realizzare questa best Practice che può essere un modello per tanti edifici pubblici e privati".mgg/gsl

PHILIP GWYNNE JONES chats to Paul Burke about The Venetian Candidate (paperback now) and The Venetian Sanctuary (Hardback July), Venice, honorary consuls and Italy.The Venetian Candidate - To tell the truth is a revolutionary act.Battered by floods and crushed by overtourism, the city of Venice faces an uncertain future. The election of a new Mayor, therefore, has never felt more important.As the candidates jostle for position and alliances are made and promises broken, Andrea Mazzon, a controversial writer and historian, emerges as a strong candidate.Nathan Sutherland, meanwhile, has more important things on his mind as he investigates the case of an elderly British academic who has disappeared while researching the fate of his grandfather during the Great War. The trail leads to a remote Common-wealth war cemetery where, under the ice and snow, Nathan makes a discovery that links the terrible events of a century ago with the electoral campaign in La Serenissima. A campaign that might ultimately set the victor on the road to the Senate - and on the road to murder. . .The Venetian Sanctuary Venice, June 2020. The city has returned to the Venetians during a merciful pause in the Covid pandemic, and few overseas visitors are to be seen. Yet Dominic Vicari, a British private investigator haunted by loss, has travelled across Europe to the tiny island of San Francesco del Deserto. The ancient monastery there, it is said, was founded by St Francis himself in the 13th century. Its population now consists of five Franciscan brothers and three pilgrims on retreat. Or, rather, two pilgrims and a dead man. Nathan Sutherland is called in when Vicari's broken body is found at the base of the campanile, his death seemingly nothing more than a terrible accident. But Nathan isn't so sure and sets out on an investigation that will reunite him with an old friend and an old adversary, and the discovery of a terrible secret hidden at the heart of the lagoon.Philip Gwynne Jones was born in South Wales, lived and worked throughout Europe before settling in Scotland in the 1990s. He first came to Italy in 1994 working for the European Space Agency in Frascati, a job that proved to be less exciting than he had imagined. He spent twenty years in the IT industry before realising he was congenitally unsuited to it. Something, clearly, had to change. Philip and wife Caroline left their jobs, sold their flat and moved to Venice in search of a better future. They now live in Venice.

A che punto è il Divertor Test Tokamak (DTT)? A Frascati è in costruzione l'esperimento di fusione nucleare più avanzato in Europa dopo ITER. Se il mega-reattore a fusione attualmente in costruzione in Francia avrà il compito di dimostrare la fattibilità della fusione nucleare, DTT avrà un compito più limitato ma cruciale: sperimentare il Divertore, un componente essenziale per qualunque tokamak e forse il più sfidante in assoluto, in quanto più esposto al plasma di fusione. DTT, che una volta completato sarà una delle più importanti piattaforme di ricerca in Italia, ha fatto la sua comparsa sulla carta una decina di anni fa e oggi è in corso di realizzazione. Parliamo di questo progetto fin dalle sue origini e facciamo il punto della situazione con Paola Batistoni, Dirigente di ricerca ENEA, Responsabile Divisione Sviluppo Energia da Fusione.

Toneelspeler, -schrijver en regisseur Bo Tarenskeen is bij ons te gast om te praten over Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? van de Amerikaanse toneelschrijver Edward Albee (de vertaling die we gebruiken is van Gerard Reve uit 1964). Door de hoeveelheid seks en scheldwoorden in het script werd het spraakmakende stuk na verschijning in 1962 als extreem schandalig ervaren. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? gaat over het kinderloze echtpaar Martha en George, beiden van middelbare leeftijd, die na afloop van een feestje bezoek krijgen van het jongere, getrouwde stel Nick en Honey. Er wordt flink gedronken en sluiperderwijs ontstaan allerlei psychologische spelletjes waar je als lezer / publiek in mee wordt genomen.In zijn vertaling wijkt Gerard Reve best af van wat Albee geschreven heeft. Met veel vrijheid heeft hij er zelfs dingen bij verzonnen. Wat was de reactie daarop? Het panel praat met Bo over alcohol drinken op scène als deel van de performance, over de definitie van een acteursstuk, en wat precies het verschil is tussen het schrijven van proza en toneel.--PRIJSVRAAG ‘Tussen longlist en shortlist'We geven twee kaartjes weg voor het Libris Literatuurprijsprogramma ‘Tussen longlist en shortlist'15 februari in De Nieuwe Liefde, AmsterdamKlik hier voor meer info en ticketsNa vrijwel elke uitreiking van de Libris Literatuurprijs zijn er steevast de reacties van: ‘o, maar díé had hem moeten winnen!'Dus: wie van alle eerdere genomineerden had de Libris Literatuurprijs wél moeten winnen?Stuur je antwoord met een eventueel kort betoog (van een paar zinnen) naar boekenfm@dasmag.nl of via Instagram DM naar @boekenfm.

Los Manuales de Frascati, publicados desde 1963 por la OCDE, establecieron la definición estándar de I+D y directrices para medirla. Han promovido la armonización de métricas de I+D, se actualizan periódicamente y son utilizados por más de 60 países. Facilitan el análisis comparado de I+D global, fundamentales para entender la innovación y las políticas que la fomentan. Son un punto de referencia para indicadores internacionales de ciencia y tecnología. Relevancia de la calificación de I+D Conocer los criterios de Frascati para identificar actividades de I+D es importante por varias razones: 1. Permite determinar si un proyecto puede ser considerado como I+D y, por lo tanto, acceder a beneficios asociados como financiamiento, deducciones impositivas u otros incentivos a la innovación que suelen estar dirigidos a proyectos de este tipo. Ejemplo de cumplimiento: Un proyecto universitario para desarrollar una nueva terapia contra el cáncer. Ejemplo de no cumplimiento: La compra de equipamiento productivo para una fábrica. 2. Ayuda a distinguir la I+D de otras actividades como producción, servicios, etc. La I+D tiene características particulares que la diferencian, como la generación de nuevo conocimiento, los resultados inciertos, la sistematicidad, etc. Conocer estas características permite clasificar correctamente una actividad. Ejemplo de cumplimiento: Un proyecto para crear un nuevo algoritmo de inteligencia artificial. Ejemplo de no cumplimiento: La operación rutinaria de un call center de atención al cliente. 3. Facilita la medición y el seguimiento de indicadores de I+D. Al poder identificar qué actividades califican como I+D y cuáles no, se pueden construir métricas más precisas sobre inversión, recursos humanos, productos, etc. dedicados a estas actividades. Ejemplo de cumplimiento: La contabilización del gasto en personal dedicado a proyectos de investigación en una empresa. Ejemplo de no cumplimiento: La contabilización del gasto en personal de limpieza como gasto en I+D. 4. Promueve la estandarización y comparabilidad. Los criterios de Frascati son utilizados a nivel internacional, lo que permite comparar indicadores de I+D entre países, instituciones y empresas. De lo contrario, cada uno tendría su propia definición, dificultando cualquier análisis comparativo. Ejemplo de cumplimiento: La comparación del gasto en I+D como % del PIB entre países de la OCDE. Ejemplo de no cumplimiento: La comparación de indicadores de I+D entre países que utilizan definiciones completamente diferentes de qué constituye una actividad de I+D. 5. Otorga transparencia. El uso de criterios claros y explícitos para definir qué es I+D brinda transparencia sobre qué se está midiendo y cómo. Esto es importante para evaluadores, financiadores, investigadores y público en general. Ejemplo de cumplimiento: Un informe detallando la metodología utilizada para construir indicadores de I+D de acuerdo con los criterios de Frascati. Ejemplo de no cumplimiento: Un informe de indicadores de I+D sin precisar cómo se definieron y midieron las actividades de I+D. Para que una actividad sea una actividad de I+D, debe satisfacer cinco criterios principales. La actividad debe ser: ● novedosa ● creativa ● incierta ● sistemática ● transferible y/o reproducible Se deben cumplir los cinco criterios, al menos en principio, cada vez que se realiza una actividad de I+D, ya sea de forma continua u ocasional. La definición de I+D dada es coherente con la definición de I+D utilizada en las ediciones anteriores del Manual Frascati y cubre el mismo rango de actividades.

Odcinek #111, w którym pytam Agatę Napiórską o znikanie Ha-gi. Siedzimy w Wydawnictwie Marginesy i śledzimy losy Anny Gosławskiej-Lipińskiej, pierwszej damy rysunku satyrycznego.Mówimy o tym, jak pogodzić życie z pisaniem, szukaniem archiwów i rozmowami. Wśród wątków pojawiają się M jak macierzyństwo, N jak nieśmiałość i W jak wielkie oczy. Nie brakuje miejsca na P jak pracę- tryb felietonistyczny i odczytywanie ducha czasów. Idziemy do warszawskich kawiarni i zaglądamy do mieszkania przy ulicy Frascati. Są R jak rytuały, W jak wanna i towarzystwo Wajdy, Hłaski, Ginczanki. Jest i stolik Gombrowicza. Rysują się nam diamentowe historyjki- nie tylko z „Przekroju” i „Świerszczyka”. Poznajemy bliżej E jak Eryczka i czytamy jego listy. Umyka nam życie bez charakteryzacji. Zamawiamy prenumeratę francuskiego „Elle” i jedziemy do Z jak Zakopanego. W końcu łapiemy równowagę między historią redakcji „Szpilek” a herstorią Ha-gi. Układamy opowieść z charakterystycznych linii i kresek. Partnerem tego odcinka jest Audioteka- dobrze opowiedziane historie.

Wat als je dochter eigenlijk een zoon is? Één van de films die tijdens de Roze Filmdagen in première gaat, is Met Zonder Ballen, een bewerking van de gelijknamige theatervoorstelling. Samen met zijn moeder onderzoekt regisseur en acteur Flip Zonne Zuijderland hoe zijn transitie voor allebei vragen opriep over identiteit en gender. Want zijn moeder mag dan een ruimdenkende theatermaker zijn, dit proces bleek haar tot in de kern te verwarren. De documentaire is genadeloos eerlijk, maar er valt ook te lachen om de universele Babylonische spraakverwarring tussen ouders en puberkinderen. Als acteur was Flip te zien in de serie Anne+; als maker ontwikkelde hij voor het online-platform 3LAB een pilot voor een televisieserie, Selfmade Man, over een jonge twintiger die in transitie is van vrouw naar man. Floortje Smit ontmoet Flip op de stoep van Frascati, waar hij druk aan het repeteren is.

With reports from at least 112 of the 114 bishops' conferences around the world, the Synod on Synodality has entered its next phase as 35 laypeople, priests and bishops meet in Frascati, Italy, to discern the outcome of the worldwide listening process that started last October.  On “Inside the Vatican” this week, veteran Vatican correspondent Gerard O'Connell reveals some of the highlights of his interview with Cardinal Mario Grech, the secretary general of the Synod of Bishops. (The interview was conducted for an upcoming deep dive episode on the synod which will be released on your “Inside the Vatican” podcast feed next month.)  “The Pope is very keen that the synods and the synod process is not hijacked by pressure groups,” Gerry said. “In fact,” Gerry tells host and producer Colleen Dulle, “the cardinal said to me… I said, ‘Are you afraid of pressure groups: people with an agenda who want to get it through these?' And he said, ‘I'm not afraid of these, but I hope if it's going to be hijacked, it's going to be hijacked by the Holy Spirit.'” This week, Pope Francis also announced the first in what is expected to be a series of major personnel changes in high-ranking positions at the Vatican. Cardinal José Tolentino Calaça de Mendonça, a 56-year-old Portuguese prelate, is the first head of a newly created Vatican department known as the Dicastery for Education and Culture, combining what were previously two separate departments.  Cardinal Tolentino is a lauded poet, author and theologian in his native Portugal. He has received numerous literary prizes and academic accolades and rose to prominence in the Vatican when the pope invited him to preach the Lenten retreat for Vatican staff in 2018. “Pope Francis is clearly a big fan of this cardinal,” Colleen tells Gerry. Though, she adds, “I think that he is more popular in other parts of the world than in the United States.”  “It's a perfect fit in many ways,” says Gerry of Pope Francis' appointment of Cardinal Tolentino to the new culture and education department. “He is a polyglot and he really has an open vision, and he is completely on the page of Pope Francis.… a church that is open, that is inclusive, that is not condemnatory, that's trying to encourage, not to discourage, that's trying to open doors, not to close doors.” Links from the show: Pope Francis names Portuguese cardinal new head of Vatican office for Culture and Education Italy could elect its first woman prime minister—and its most right-wing government since becoming a republic Videos from inside the Frascati Synod meeting Exclusive: Cardinal Grech on drafting the first global synod synthesis—and what's in store for phase 2 Cardinal Grech: The synod ‘needs time' on the question of married priests Learn more about your ad choices.

In questo podcast parliamo delle persone senza fissa dimora a Roma. Nel parliamo con il dott. Alessandro Radicchi, presidente della cooperativa sociale Europe Consulting Onlus, realtà che organizza iniziative e progetti concreti per aiutare queste persone. Un modo per vedere questo fenomeno da vicino, senza i tanti pregiudizi e stereotipi che le persone senza tetto vivono. Per farlo, bisogna iniziare a parlare 'con' loro, più che 'di' loro. Per tale motivo abbiamo deciso di approfondire l'argomento con una persona che da anni lavora nell'ambito dell'inclusione sociale delle persone più emarginate.Alessandro Radicchi si Laurea nel 1997 in Matematica Astronomica presso l'università La Sapienza di Roma dopo tre anni di esperienza presso l'Istituto di Fisica dello Spazio Interplanetario del CNR di Frascati. Impiegato in Telecom, mentre collabora durante la guerra in Bosnia con una associazione di Volontariato di Medjugorie per sostenere le popolazioni colpite dal conflitto, abbandona la ricerca e l'informatica per mettere le sue competenze a disposizione del sociale. Nel 1999 entra a far parte del mondo della cooperazione divenendo nel 2001 presidente della cooperativa sociale Europe Consulting Onlus e successivamente consigliere di un consorzio di 80 cooperative sociali. Nel 2002 fonda il primo Help Center, quello di Roma Termini e nel 2006 il Centro polivalente per persone senza dimora Binario 95 che in pochi anni diverrà uno dei poli sociali per l'integrazione più attivi della capitale. Nel 2003 per FS Italiane e ANCI il realizza il progetto ONDS - Osservatorio Nazionale sul Disagio e la Solidarietà nelle Stazioni una rete che oggi aggrega 18 Help Center nelle principali stazioni italiane realizzando 500.000 interventi l'anno in favore di oltre 22.000 persone disagiate. Nel 2007 assieme ai soci della cooperativa ed agli ospiti del Binario 95, da vita a “Shaker, pensieri senza dimora” il giornale di strada di Roma scritto da persone senza dimora. In quel periodo concretizza l'ideazione di "Anthology" una piattaforma informatica dedicata al sociale che nel 2012 vincerà il Sodalitas Social Innovation Award, oggi utilizzata dai servizi operanti in favore di persone disagiate convenzionati con il Comune di Roma. Nel 2015 da vita all'Osservatorio Cittadino sulle marginalità di Roma.Europe Consulting Onlus: un pò di storie.2002Nel 2002 nasce al Binario 1 della Stazione di Roma Termini l'HELP CENTER, lo sportello di orientamento ed assistenza sociale di Roma Termini per intercettare ed orientare ai servizi del territorio le marginalità gravi presenti in stazione e nei suoi dintorni.2006 – 2009Nel 2006 viene annesso all'Help Center un piccolo spazio in Via Marsala, 95 trasformatosi poi nel 2009, grazie all'ottenimento di nuovi locali da parte di FS nel Centro Polivalente per persone senza dimora BINARIO 95. L'esigenza era integrare l'attività dello sportello con un sistema più articolato di servizi diurni e notturni, per contrastare il cronicizzarsi in stazione dell'emarginazione sociale, avviando percorsi di recupero delle capacità relazionali, creative e di reinserimento sociale.Nello stesso anno nasce l'Help Center Mobile, un'unità di strada che interviene in particolare nelle stazioni ferroviarie romane, per intercettare le persone più bisognose e accompagnarle alla fruizione dei servizi di assistenza del Polo Sociale di Roma Termini o della città.2016Con l'ottenimento da parte di FS di nuovi e più ampi spazi in via di Porta San Lorenzo 5, l'Help Center si sposta e annette alla sua attività quella di un Magazzino Sociale . Nasce così nel 2016 NexTop MSC, IL MAGAZZINO SOCIALE CITTADINO destinato alla raccolta, stoccaggio e distribuzione, alle persone senza dimora, delle donazioni in vestiario, coperte, beni di prima necessità provenienti da enti e privati cittadini. Il Magazzino ha la funzione di costituire un punto di raccolta di beni per le persone indigenti.I servizi del Polo Sociale Roma Termini sono finanziati da Roma Capitale e dalla Regione Lazio ed operano all'interno del quadro dei Servizi Cittadini di Pronto Intervento della Sala Operativa Sociale del Dipartimento Politiche Sociali della Direzione Accoglienza e Inclusione di Roma Capitale ed in sinergia con lo Sportello di Accoglienza dell'Ufficio Immigrazione del Comune, gestito anche questo dal 2005 dalla Europe Consulting Onlus in Via Assisi.La cooperativa cura, inoltre, il coordinamento dell'ONDS – Osservatorio Nazionale della Solidarietà nelle Stazioni Italiane, un progetto realizzato dalla Europe Consulting Onlus in partenariato con Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane e ANCI e che costituisce una rete di 18 help center in altrettanti scali ferroviari.Da agosto 2015 la Cooperativa grazie anche alla realizzazione di Anthology, una piattaforma informatica che ha messo in connessione tutti i servizi di supporto e accoglienza convenzionati con Roma Capitale, cura sempre per conto del Dipartimento Politiche Sociali, l'Osservatorio Cittadino sulle Marginalità Sociali di Roma. 2019Mentre si avvia la grande impresa della creazione del Villaggio 95, con la vittoria di un bando sui fondi PON Inclusione del Ministero del lavoro e delle Politiche Sociali la Europe Consulting Onlus integra nella filiera dei servizi per le persone senza dimora offerti dal Binario 95 un progetto sperimentale per l'apertura di un appartamento di Housing First sempre nei pressi della Stazione di Roma Termini, a completamento del percorso di recupero delle persone prese in carico.

Elegante ed imponente costruzione situata nel comune di Agliè, il Castello Ducale è raccontato in un podcast realizzato all'interno della residenza, negli ultimi anni utilizzata come ambientazione per le serie televisive Maria José, Elisa di Rivombrosa e La bella e la bestia.Il nucleo originario risale verosimilmente al XII secolo, periodo in cui la dinastia dei San Martino si stava affermando nell'area canavesana. La prima trasformazione dell'originario fortilizio fu operata nel 1646 per volontà del conte Filippo San Martino, secondo un progetto che viene fatto risalire ad Amedeo di Castellamonte.Alla morte di Filippo di Agliè il castello si presentava come una struttura sostanzialmente simmetrica a due corti, una interna e l'altra aperta verso il borgo; la facciata est era già caratterizzata dalle due torri-padiglione affacciate sul giardino ordinato a parterres.Nel 1763 il castello fu acquistato dai Savoia come appannaggio del secondogenito di Carlo Emanuele III, Benedetto Maria Maurizio, duca del Chiablese: venne allora intrapreso un nuovo, grandioso progetto di riqualificazione del complesso ad opera dell'architetto Ignazio Birago di Borgaro. Il borgo stesso fu coinvolto nel vasto programma di rinnovamento, con l'edificazione dell'attuale parrocchiale, collegata al castello da una galleria coperta a due piani, tuttora esistente. Birago chiamò ad Agliè artisti cari alla corte torinese: i fratelli Filippo e Ignazio Collino per la statuaria delle fontane, lo stuccatore Giuseppe Bolina per gli apparati decorativi del grande atrio d'ingresso. Furono inoltre sistemati i giardini e il parco, risolto in termini di rigorosa simmetria verde, con uno specchio d'acqua lungo l'asse longitudinale.Durante la dominazione napoleonica il castello fu trasformato in ospizio, il parco lottizzato e venduto a privati; nel 1823 rientrò nei possedimenti reali e due anni dopo ebbe inizio l'ultimo intervento di aggiornamento degli appartamenti, voluto dal re Carlo Felice. Il castello venne riarredato dagli artisti di corte; lo scultore Giacomo Spalla allestì la Sala Tuscolana, ove sono tuttora collocati i reperti rinvenuti nella villa Rufinella presso Frascati, proprietà di Carlo Felice e della regina Maria Cristina. Nella seconda metà dell'Ottocento fu riallestita la Galleria Verde e portato il parco alla sua consistenza attuale, abbandonando le simmetrie verdi per l'impianto di gusto romantico visibile ancora oggi. Venduto allo Stato nel 1939, il castello è stato destinato a museo di sé stesso, lasciandone immutate strutture e arredi.La voce del podcast è di Laura De Nardo, guida e accompagnatrice turistica con esperienza ventennale.

Il presidente di ENEA, Gilberto Dialuce, e l'amministratore delegato di ENI, Claudio Descalzi, hanno sottoscritto un Joint Cooperation Agreement che prevede la realizzazione di svariati progetti nei settori della decarbonizzazione e della transizione ecologica ed energetica. L'accordo avrà una validità triennale e riguarderà lo sviluppo di prototipi, tecnologie e processi innovativi, studi di fattibilità e analisi di scenario, lo scambio di competenze e conoscenze e la promozione di iniziative congiunte per un valore di oltre 8 milioni di euro, che sarà costituito dall'apporto di risorse umane, tecniche e finanziarie fornito da entrambe le parti. La presidenza dell'ENEA ha spiegato che si tratta di un'intesa che le consente, attraverso l'attuazione di progetti concreti, di mettere le sue competenze, infrastrutture e capacità di innovazione a disposizione di un'azienda leader a livello internazionale come ENI su temi strategici quali la decarbonizzazione, la sostenibilità e la transizione energetica ed ecologica. Inoltre, l'accordo rientra nel quadro della “mission” di ENEA nel campo della ricerca applicata, finalizzata allo sviluppo di partnership con le imprese, trasferendo ad esse tecnologie innovative e servizi avanzati per la crescita e la competitività. Tra l'altro, stiamo parlando di un'iniziativa che va a consolidare la collaborazione già in atto con ENI, nel Cluster Tecnologico Nazionale Energia, riguardo alla fusione nucleare e ad altre iniziative per l'economia circolare, il solare a concentrazione e l'accumulo termico. Nello specifico, l'Agreement concerne gli ambiti della produzione di energia da fonti rinnovabili e a basse emissioni di CO2, del supercomputing, della superconduttività e dell'economia circolare: tra gli obbiettivi prefissati, rilevano particolarmente i processi innovativi per la valorizzazione degli scarti e per la produzione di biogas e biometano. In merito alle fonti rinnovabili, l'intesa prevede l'identificazione di contesti di utilizzo innovativi per il solare a concentrazione, valutando lo sviluppo di sistemi combinati di generazione e stoccaggio termico, la promozione di partnership nazionali e internazionali per la progettazione di soluzioni industriali e la partecipazione congiunta a progetti di ricerca e sviluppo per la realizzazione e validazione di prototipi. Nell'ambito del supercomputing la partnership si propone di sviluppare, fra l'altro, tecnologie e hardware di nuova generazione per un innovativo sistema di High Performance Computing ad alta efficienza energetica e di calcolo. Infine, nel settore della superconduttività, Enea ed Eni lavoreranno insieme allo sviluppo di una tecnologia innovativa per il design e la realizzazione di un sistema di rilevazione e prevenzione delle perdite delle caratteristiche superconduttive in un magnete a superconduttori High Temperature Superconductors. Ed in quest'ultimo campo, ENI ed ENEA si muovono già in sinergia, attraverso un'alleanza strategica per la costituzione di un grande polo scientifico-tecnologico sulla fusione Divertor Tokamak Test che verrà realizzato nel Centro Ricerche ENEA di Frascati. ______________________________________ Ascolta "Sostenibilità" - L'appuntamento dedicato al global warming e alle nuove sfide green di imprese, istituzioni e cittadini. “Sostenibilità” è l'approfondimento di Giornale Radio sulle notizie relative ai cambiamenti climatici, con aggiornamenti sugli effetti del riscaldamento globale, sui piani d'azione definiti dai principali governi mondiali e sulle iniziative di compagnie e società.

15 febbraio 2022 - Catalina Curceanu - La Meccanica Quantistica (MQ), teoria di enorme successo e pilastro della fisica moderna, è al centro di un vivace dibattito rappresentato dal famoso paradosso del “Gatto di Schrödinger”, lo zombie gatto “quantistico” che è sia vivo che morto. Fra le varie soluzioni proposte per risolvere questo intrigante paradosso ci sono alcune molto esotiche: mondi paralleli oppure teorie che vedono nell'attuale MQ un limite di una nuova teoria ancora da scoprire. Io stessa conduco un esperimento nel silenzio cosmico dei laboratori sotterranei del Gran Sasso per trovare una soluzione a questo e altri paradossi. Per i ricercatori le proprietà quantistiche, quali la sovrapposizione degli stati e l'entanglement, sono risorse incredibilmente ricche per nuove tecnologie che potrebbero cambiarci la vita. Fra queste i computer quantistici sono in prima fila! Vi porterò in un viaggio nel mondo quantistico, dal gatto di Schrödinger alla sinfonia dei qubit. Catalina Curceanu è prima ricercatrice dei Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati dell'Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare e membro della Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi) americana. Nata in Transilvania, si è laureata in fisica con la specializzazione in fisica delle particelle elementari e fisica nucleare. Ha svolto il dottorato di ricerca nell'ambito dell'esperimento OBELIX (CERN) nel campo della spettroscopia dei mesoni esotici. Autrice di piu' di 400 articoli scientifici dirige un gruppo di ricerca che svolge esperimenti nell'ambito della fisica nucleare e della fisica quantistica, sia in Italia che all'estero ed è a capo delle collaborazioni internazionali SIDDHARTA2 (esperimento sull'acceleratore DAFNE dei Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati) e VIP (esperimento ai Laboratori Nazionali di Gran Sasso). Coordina vari progetti internazionali e ha ricevuto numerosi premi e riconoscimenti internazionali, tra i quali il premio 2017 – Emmy Noether, della Societa' Europea di Fisica (EPS). Nel 2018 è stata insignita dell'Ordine “Merito Culturale” nel grado di Cavaliere dal Presidente della Romania. E' autrice del libro “Dai buchi neri all'adroterapia. Un viaggio nella Fisica Moderna” (Springer – I Blu).

Un sistema di indagine acustica per studiare i danni da umidità su opere d'arte e siti archeologici: è quanto hanno messo a punto ricercatori del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche e dell'ENEA nell'ambito del progetto"ReMEDIA".Il sistema funziona in modo simile al sonar o all'ecografia medica, ed è quindi basato sulla emissione di uno stimolo acustico e sulla successiva rilevazione delle onde acustiche riflesse (che sono evidemtenemten condizionate dalla presenza di acqua nei muri) , e ora verrà sperimentato presso alcune chiese a Roma; soprattutto in cripte e catacombe, dove non solo il problema dell'umidità è particolarmente grave, ma dove le indagini sono difficili e le alternative particolarmente complesse o costose.

Fino a qualche tempo fa, nell'immaginario comune, per indicare la fine del mondo si parlava di ‘diluvio universale' o di ‘Apocalisse'. Adesso la metafora perfetta della catastrofe è l'asteroide.

Schon in der Antike war das Gebiet 20 Kilometer vor Rom in den Albaner Bergen eine beliebte Villengegend und blieb es durchgängig mit einer Hochphase im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert, als die Papst-Familien dort ihre Villen bauen ließen. Uns ist Frascati vielmehr durch den Wein bekannt, der auch schon vor hundert Jahren bei rauschenden Festen auf den Marktplätzen, in den Tavernen und Restaurants ausgeschenkt wurde. Für den Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger war ihr Korrespondent zusammen mit „echten“ Römern, er nennt sie Romani di Roma, zu einem Weinfest nach Frascati gepilgert. Seinen Bericht, abgedruckt am 5. Oktober, liest für uns Paula Leu.
