POPLAR CULTIVATION AS AN INNOVATIVE STRATEGY TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH NEW CROPPING MODELS SUITABLE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF WOODY RAW MATERIALS FOR THE INDUSTRIAL AND ENERGY SECTORS
2025-06-11 15:00 - 18:00
JUNE 11 | 3:00 PM
Registration: https://seminaricreaunitus.crea.gov.it/
Poplar wood-based supply chains and their derivatives represent a hallmark of Italian excellence in both the agricultural and industrial sectors, recognized internationally as well. Poplar cultivation provides high-quality raw material, supported by intensive clonal selection and the promotion of sound cultivation techniques. These techniques rely on significantly fewer external inputs compared to major agricultural crops that typically share the same growing areas. Producing wood also means sequestering atmospheric carbon, thereby contributing to key societal goals such as climate change mitigation and the environmental and landscape enhancement of rural areas. Among the viable approaches are agroforestry systems, which combine tree-based forestry crops with agricultural cultivation and/or livestock farming, thus creating multifunctional agricultural systems.
The webinar is part of the training project “Towards Green Horizons”, organized within the framework of the excellence project D.I.Ve.r.So.
The Order of Agronomists and Foresters of Viterbo will grant 0.25 Professional Training Credits (CFP) for each seminar; the Territorial College of Graduate Agricultural Experts of the Province of Rome will grant 2 CFP per seminar; the National College of Agrotechnicians will also grant 2 CFP per seminar.
The training project counts toward the annual 40-hour training performance target outlined in the Directive of the Minister for Public Administration dated January 16, 2025. Credit recognition is subject to passing a final assessment test administered at the end of each event.

AperiLIS
2025-06-19 18:00 - 21:00 | CHIOSTRO RINASCIMENTALE RETTORATO UNITUS, Viterbo, Viterbo, 01100, Italy
An aperitif for connection and inclusion, where participants will have the opportunity to discover LIS – Italian Sign Language – and Deaf culture.
For several years, ENS SP of Viterbo and the University of Tuscia have been collaborating with the goal of raising awareness around deafness and breaking down the invisible barriers to communication, contributing to the creation of a more cohesive and inclusive society.
The event, part of the European Erasmus+ ISENSE project, stems from the desire to promote communication in all its forms, with special attention to Sign Language. It offers a chance to share a convivial moment while enjoying a spritz or a non-alcoholic beverage accompanied by snacks. But the experience will go beyond taste: it will be an opportunity to explore communication not through traditional spoken language, but through signs, music, vibrations, and games.
The initiative, open to both Deaf and hearing participants, aims to create a shared experience in a relaxed and stimulating setting. Guided by Deaf individuals and interpreters, attendees will have the chance to discover and experiment with this unique language.
The event will be fully accessible to both Deaf and hearing participants, thanks to simultaneous ITA/LIS interpreting.
Participants will also be able to experience the virtual reality environments developed within the ISENSE project.
