SUMMARY:Sustainability disclosure on scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Fabiola Schneider’s study shows that voluntary Scope 3 disclosure by oil and gas firms leads to negative market reactions\, driven by concerns over product emissions. \n\n\n\nThis study examines the market reaction to voluntary Scope 3 disclosure of oil and gas producers. Using the mobility crisis due to the Covid-19 shutdown as the environment where oil and gas producers experienced a negative exogenous demand shock\, we assess market reactions to Scope 3 and Use of Sold Products emission reporting of 48 oil and gas firms across 19 countries. We find that Scope 3 disclosure led to a negative market reaction and that the result is driven by downstream Use of Sold Products reporting. This study provides the first evidence on the elephant in the room for the global quest to achieve the Paris Agreement – the fossil fuel industry’s product related emissions – and that investors react negatively to voluntary disclosure of Scope 3 emissions\, especially the Use of Sold Products. This finding indicates that sustainability disclosure can be interpreted as a negative signal during the negative demand shock when the signal points out the size of risk exposures\, which leads to an increase in equity risk premium for an industry that has no clear transition plan toward achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions. Our findings indicate that institutional pressure – i.e. for firms headquartered in Europe – is the primary driver of voluntary Scope 3 disclosure\, suggesting that such disclosures serve as a means for companies to preserve their legitimacy to operate. \nRegistration for Online Participation: Microsoft Virtual Events Powered by Teams \nEvent Website: Sustainability disclosure on scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions / Free University of Bozen-Bolzano

SUMMARY:From Knowledge to Action: Knowledge\, Beliefs\, and Cooperation for DRR and Climate Change Adaptation
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore how interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches can enhance Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation\, combining scientific knowledge and collective action to build resilient communities. \n\n\n\n\nThis event invites participants to reflect on the value of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches in the fields of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation. Throughout the day\, we will explore how collaborative efforts between natural and social sciences can enhance our understanding of — and responses to — the complex challenges facing our natural-human systems. Discussions will also focus on collective decision-making processes\, examining how individual beliefs shape collective choices and how cooperation between public institutions and citizens can foster more resilient communities. Theoretical insights on these core themes will be paired with empirical examples and real-world cases to inspire practical reflection and dialogue. \n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n12:00 – 13:30 \nLight lunch \n\n13:30- 14:00\n\nOpening and introduction \n\n14:00 – 15:30\n\n\nThematic session \n\nAndrea Pirni\, University of Genova\n\nInterdisciplinary knowledge production \nThe talk intends to problematize and\, in doing so\, to encourage an initial approach to the relationship between the Mathematical-Natural Physical Sciences and the social sciences for the purposes of Disaster Risk Management. An attempt will be made to consider how to integreate phenomena\, information and data that come from the social sciences with the modeling and scenarios that define the MNF sciences. Finally\, we will also discuss the development of a common minimum scientific language. \n\nFrancesca Vigotti\, Politecnico di Milano\n\nAssessing and empowering fragile communities \nIn this contribution I will discuss the outcomes of Task 7.4.4\, titled “A New Approach to Integrated Planning Based on Co-Design Processes for DRR and CCA Policies.” The main objective of this activity was to develop antifragility strategies for fragile territories by integrating routine and emergency planning through participatory approaches. We focused on territories characterized by multi-risk scenarios\, demographic decline\, and remoteness from essential services. Our research was grounded in three key pillars: Prevention and Resilience\, Regeneration\, and Education and Participation. The work was carried out in 12 municipalities in Lomellina\, Lombardy\, where we conducted a thorough assessment of strategic spaces. The results include tools—such as survey forms\, mapping instruments\, and educational materials—to enhance the understanding and management of built environments\, heritage\, and open spaces. \n\nClaudio Marciano\, University of Genoa\n\nHeat wave and floods in Genoa: a Risk Storyline \nRisk Storylines are scenario techniques that foresee the impact chains of multi-hazard events and the most relevant actions to mitigate\, respond to and learn from such events. An interdisciplinary research team\, engaged in the extended Return partnership\, has built a model for the elaboration of storylines and applied it in several urban contexts\, including that of Genoa. The paper describes the model\, and the main results obtained in the context of a storyline on a heat wave followed by heavy rainfall in the context of the Ligurian capital. \n\n\n15:30 – 16:00\n\nCoffee break \n\n16:00 – 17:30\n\n\nThematic Session \n\nPavel Janda\, University of Milan\n\nCollective choices and collective beliefs \nCollective choices depend on collective beliefs. How we form collective beliefs from individual beliefs to a high degree determines collective beliefs and\, thus\, decisions. My interest lies in formation methods that are resilient to manipulations and embody important values by satisfying desirable properties. For example\, the method should not be dictatorial. Or\, our method should be resilient to the strategic proliferation of information. So\, one cannot strategically disclose relevant information before or after forming the collective belief to manipulate it. I will explore various ways to manipulate the formation of collective beliefs and how to make the methods more resilient. For example\, I will explore whether and under what assumptions we can escape Arrow’s impossibility result reinterpreted for belief aggregation. \n\nRiccardo Stupazzini\, LABSUS\n\nShared risk management \nThis presentation critically explores the concept of shared administration as an innovative governance approach to disaster risk management\, emphasizing active civic engagement. Through an analysis of the case study of Bagnara Calabra—where local authorities and citizens collaboratively established a civil protection agreement—the discussion illustrates how participatory frameworks enable communities and local governments to jointly identify vulnerabilities\, implement targeted preventive measures\, and build lasting resilience. Particularly in contexts where institutional resources are limited and vulnerability to extreme events is high\, shared administration serves not merely as a supplemental strategy but as a fundamental mechanism for community empowerment\, ensuring risk mitigation strategies are collectively devised\, endorsed\, and implemented. \n\n\n17:30 – 18:30\n\nTheater performance “Change the Climate” \n\n\n18:30 – 19:30 \n\nAperitif \nThis event takes place as a SOS4CC side event. The event is open to all conference participants and external interested parties. \nThe event is realised within the activities of the Return project\, financed by the Italian PNRR (Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza).

SUMMARY:2025 SOS4CC - SOcial Sciences 4 Climate Change. From Knowledge to Action
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Climate Change and Transformation at Eurac Research is proud to announce the upcoming SOS4CC – SOcial Sciences 4 Climate Change conference “from Knowledge to Action” \n\n\n\nWhat is the conference about?\n\n\nClimate change stands as a defining challenge of our era\, compromising ecological transformation but also demanding profound societal change. As we navigate urgent issues—such as climate change mitigation and adaptation\, addressing socio-economic and class inequalities\, fostering solidarity across diverse identities\, and creating inclusive\, decolonial and recognitional practice spaces—we emphasize the critical contributions of social sciences in facilitating these transformations. \nScience is tasked with the crucial role not only of providing facts and knowledge but also of actively contributing to socio-ecological transformations. This conference focuses on the role of social sciences in informing the understanding of climate change impacts\, challenges\, opportunities and in shaping effective responses. \nFocusing on the socio-cultural dimensions of climate change\, the conference will explore the roles of EU\, national\, and local governments\, civil society organizations\, social movements\, the financial and business sectors\, and citizens in addressing the climate crisis. It will examine issues related to climate governance\, transformation practices\, social inequalities\, climate justice\, gender and other intersectional dimensions\, community resilience\, climate change adaptation\, and risk mitigation. We will also investigate the intersection of scientific research and practical applications in developing innovative solutions for climate resilience that are context-specific and culturally relevant. \nBy employing interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary lenses\, we aim to enhance our understanding of how to create actionable knowledge and solutions collaboratively with diverse stakeholders beyond academia. This approach emphasizes the importance of integrating insights from multiple disciplines while engaging non-academic sectors to address complex climate challenges effectively. \nThe conference seeks to achieve the following objectives: \n\nExplore governance\, regulatory frameworks\, and just transition principles to foster research-policy connections for climate action and social-ecological transformation\nStudy transformative approaches to overcoming unsustainable systems and fostering socio-ecological change.\nExamine the disproportionate impacts of climate change on marginalized groups\, promoting intersectional approaches and community solidarity for justice.\nImprove understanding of behavioural drivers\, barriers\, lock/in for climate adaptation and risk mitigation as well as community/led initiatives effectively supporting just transformation and community resilience.\n\nJoin us in exploring how we can further connect and mobilize social sciences research to tackle the challenge of accelerating change while actively contributing to a more equitable society that prioritizes both people and the planet. Through this collaborative effort\, we can better understand the interconnectedness of social systems and environmental sustainability in the face of climate change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nConference theme\n\nThe Center for Climate Change and Transformation at Eurac Research invites researchers to discuss the socio-cultural dimensions of climate change and the critical role of social sciences in studying it through using an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary lens. Contributions are encouraged along 4 main thematic areas: \n\n\n\n1. Climate Governance  \n2. Trasformative Practices \n3. Climate Justice\, Gender and intersectionality \n4. Adaptation and risk mitigation \nFor further information please consult the official event website: 2025 SOS4CC – SOcial Sciences 4 Climate Change. From Knowledge to Action \nReturn Side Event is Now Official!\n\n\n\nParticipants to the SOS4CC conferece will be able to join this Return side event organized for September 3rd. From Knowledge to Action: Knowledge\, Beliefs\, and Cooperation for DRR and Climate Change Adaptation is a free event open to all conference participants and external interested parties. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration fees\n\n\nConference fee for Master and PhD students: 50€ \nConference fee for early career researchers: 100 € \nConference fee for mid-career and established researchers: 150 € \nConference fee covers Conference kit\, lunch and snacks during the days of the conference.

This discussion brings together the perspectives of two influential political theorists who have recently contributed to the debate on future-related discussions for envisioning political projects\, (re-)shaping policies\, and democratic legitimacy. \nJonathan White\, author of the book In the Long Run: The Future as a Political Idea (Profile Books 2024)\, and Jan Zielonka\, author of The Lost Future: And How to Reclaim It (Yale University Press 2023) will engage in a discussion to explore our collective relationship with the future\, the democratic challenges born of short-termism\, the risks associated to the management of ecological\, technological\, and geopolitical crises\, and the possibilities for reclaiming democratic agency in uncertain times. \n\n\n\nLanguage: English without simultaneous transaltion \nProgram: \n\n\n16:00-16:15\n\nIntroduction\nHarald Pechlaner\, Head of the Center for Advanced Studies\, Eurac Research \n\n\n\n16:15-16:45\n\nJonathan White\, Professor of Politics and Deputy Head of the European Institute at the London School of Economics \n\n\n\n16:45-17:15\n\nJan Zielonka\, Professor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Venice Ca’ Foscari and Emeritus Professor at the University of Oxford \n\n\n\n17:15-18:00\n\n\nDiscussion and Q&A \nModeration: Elisa Piras\, Center for Advanced Studies\, Eurac Research \n\n\n\n\n18:00\n\nConclusion and aperitivo \nRegistration (by 13 September 2025): https://eu.surveymonkey.com/r/ITLR \nEvent website: https://www.eurac.edu/en/institutes-centers/center-for-advanced-studies/news-events/envisioning-the-future-democracy-governance-politics-jonathan-white-jan-zielonka

SUMMARY:Collaborative Housing and Social Inclusion: Insights\, Evidence\, and Future Directions
DESCRIPTION:Collaborative housing has grown to include diverse and vulnerable groups but still lacks public awareness and sufficient institutional backing. \nAmid the ongoing housing crisis\, collaborative housing\, including cooperative models\, offer a promising alternative to mainstream housing provision. In various places across Europe\, these housing projects have demonstrated their ability to offer affordable and high-quality living spaces while promoting participation and mutual support among residents as well as a resource-conscious lifestyle. \nIn recent years\, the scope of collaborative housing has expanded to foster greater diversity among residents\, such as through intergenerational projects\, and by addressing needs of a broader range of vulnerable and socio-economically disadvantaged groups\, including people with migrant and refugee backgrounds. Yet\, this housing field remains largely unfamiliar to the broader public and lacks institutional support. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the event will examine the potential of collaborative housing to promote diversity and social inclusion at the neighbourhood level. National and international experts from academia\, policy\, and practice will share insights from various places and discuss how partnerships and funding programmes can leverage the potential of collaborative housing to advance socially inclusive neighbourhood development and urban regeneration. Following the presentations and panel discussion\, the audience will also be invited to take part in the discussion. \nIn the morning\, there will be a guided visit to a new collaborative housing project which was realized by Cooperativa Sole in Bolzano’s Oltrisarco neighbourhood. It is an optional addition to the event programme. More details will follow. \nLanguage: English \nProgram: https://www.unibz.it/assets/Events/Pdf/cc-cooperatives/Preliminary-Programme_CCEvent_September_2025.docx.pdf \nRegistration: https://eventregistration.unibz.it/Login.asp?IDcommessa=UN25050&Lang=IT \nEvent website: https://www.unibz.it/en/events/collaborative-housing-and-social-inclusion-insights-evidence-and-future-directions

SUMMARY:Towards a Circular Economy in South Tyrol
DESCRIPTION:Co-selecting transformation measures across sectors \nThe transition to a circular economy (CE) is critical for achieving resource efficiency\, dealing with resource scarcity\, waste generation\, and building a sustainable future for cities and regions. Over the past decade\, the European Union (EU) has committed significantly to advancing circular economy principles\, advocating for action at regional\, national and local levels. However\, most economies remain still linear\, and the CE is a marginal approach in many territories. In the EU\, for example\, the CE accounts only about 2% of total EU GDP and circular material use rate was 12% in 2023\, far below the 24% targeted in the EU Circular Economy Action Plan. \nSince 2020\, South Tyrol has committed to adopting a circular economy strategy\, which is currently under development and addresses key sectors such as construction\, which is responsible for over the 40% of waste generation in the Province. Despite these positive developments\, the adoption of a CE in South Tyrol remains limited due to multiple barriers which are not technological\, but related to production and consumption patterns\, regulation\, financing and governance\, particularly in tracking progress towards a CE. For example\, most available data focus on waste rather than broader resource flows and urban metabolism\, making it difficult to track and assess the impact of circularity measures at local level. \nThe workshop “Towards a Circular Economy in South Tyrol: co-selecting transformation measures across sectors” aims to present the results of a study focused on urban metabolism in South Tyrol\, and to provide an overview of the current initiatives and projects on CE in the Province of Bolzano. The workshop aims to actively engage local businesses\, local administrators\, NGOs and academic stakeholders in discussing and co-selecting measures in five key sectors (metal packing\, concrete and other construction\, fruits and wine\, copper production\, aluminium production\, wood) that can be more effective in accelerating the transition towards a circular economy in South Tyrol. \n\nAgenda: \n8:45\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n9:00\n\n\nWelcome and introduction \nWolfram Sparber\, Eurac Research \n\n\n\n\n9:10\n\n\nHow much materials circulate in South Tyrol?

SUMMARY:Futuring the rural
DESCRIPTION:Public lecture with Edgar Vladimirenko\, practicing architect and urbanist in Lithuania and UNESCO Chair Fellow \n\nAs tractors block capital boulevards and city ministries plan the countryside from afar\, the line between rural and urban dissolves. If we were to acknowledge the “complete urbanisation of society”\, rural territories become part of the urban system with functional and physical ties to the cities. Therefore rural Lithuania\, and much of Europe\, is neither the romantic periphery nor a museum piece; it is a palimpsest of political experiments whose unresolved governance now hinders ecological and social resilience. \nThis lecture aims to trace that dissolution. From Soviet agro-settlements to airport ghost‑villages\, through several symbolic locations\, the lecture seeks to reveal that rural areas are laboratories where traces of various “political seasons” have been inscribed. It further explores how tools of architecture and urbanism allow us to speculate the future of rural territories. \nJoin us on Teams! \nLanguage: The lecture will be held in English and is open to everyone interested. \nRegistration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/483ba585-1d43-441f-9fb0-f42d5430216d@92513267-03e3-401a-80d4-c58ed6674e3b \nEvent website: https://www.eurac.edu/en/institutes-centers/center-for-advanced-studies/news-events/futuring-the-rural-lecture-edgar-vladimirenko

SUMMARY:Overtourism in Barcelona: empirical evidence
DESCRIPTION:Research seminar of the Cluster Tourism\, Marketing and Regional Development\nSpeaker: Prof. Philipp Wassler – University of Bergamo \nOvertourism has reemerged as a pressing issue in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic\, fuelling widespread public protests. Despite its growing relevance\, the concept remains ambiguously defined in academic discussions. This study seeks to clarify the notion of overtourism by adopting a resident-centered perspective\, emphasizing the economic\, demographic\, and socio-cultural factors that influence how the phenomenon is perceived. Focusing on Barcelona and employing a mixed-methods approach\, the research reveals that residents primarily associate overtourism with excessive crowding\, security concerns\, pollution\, and rising costs and gentrification. Through surveys of Barcelona residents and expert interviews\, the study finds that millennials are the most critical of overtourism\, a stance shaped by their lower economic reliance on tourism\, political ideology\, and higher education levels. \nLanguage: English \nOnline participation: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/241ca70d-f588-4999-a349-86ed054d8558@92513267-03e3-401a-80d4-c58ed6674e3b \nEvent website: https://www.unibz.it/en/events/overtourism-in-barcelona-empirical-evidence

SUMMARY:Efficient rolling bearings: current challenges\, analysis methods\, and use-cases from the industry
DESCRIPTION:From CFD to design: discover how Schaeffler reduces rolling-bearing losses with smart analysis and lubricant modeling for efficient\, sustainable products. \nRolling bearings are machine elements that are used in a high number of industrial applications\, enabling low-friction support for rotating components. Particularly due to the electrification of the automotive industry\, requirements for further reduction of friction losses are increasing to meet the demands of sustainable and energy efficient products. \nSchaeffler is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of rolling bearings and addresses these challenges through continuous product and analysis methods development. \nThis lecture will present practical solutions for friction reduction that are being developed and provided by Schaeffler. Insights will be given into how efficient and accurate analysis software can be used in the development process\, with a particular focus on the underlying methods and numerical simulations. \nA special emphasis will be placed on the analysis of lubricants used in rolling bearings\, utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The insights gained will be illustrated using examples from the industrial collaboration between unibz and Schaeffler. \nEvent website: Efficient rolling bearings: current challenges\, analysis methods\, and use-cases from the industry / Free University of Bozen-Bolzano

SUMMARY:Social ladders: the weight of social mobility
DESCRIPTION:Public lecture with Anthony Miro Born\, sociologist at the London School of Economics and Political Science and Stiftung Südtiroler Sparkasse Global Fellow \nPromoting social mobility has become a powerful concern in public\, political\, and academic debates. This talk\, however\, places the ideal of social mobility itself at the centre of analysis. Drawing on in-depth fieldwork in stigmatised neighbourhoods in Germany and Miro’s forthcoming book “Social Ladders” (Oxford University Press\, 2026)\, it explores the contradictions between the lofty promises of social mobility\, its ambivalent politics\, and its complex manifestations in people’s lived experiences. The talk shows how the language of social mobility and “more meritocracy” is often used to ignore the primary needs and problems of disadvantaged communities. It also argues that to understand the divisive nature and hidden costs of social mobility\, we must listen not only to the few who have ‘made it’ up the ladder to social and economic success. We must also include the voices of those commonly seen as having been ‘left behind.’ \nLanguage: The lecture will be held in English and is open to everyone interested. \nRegistration: No registration required. \nEvent website: https://www.eurac.edu/en/institutes-centers/center-for-advanced-studies/news-events/social-ladders-the-weight-of-social-mobility-anthony-miro-born

SUMMARY:Rechtsstaat unter Druck? | Lo Stato di diritto in crisi?
DESCRIPTION:DE_Demokratie und Gesellschaft in der (Klima-)Krise \nWie belastbar sind Demokratie und Rechtsstaat in Zeiten eskalierender Krisen? Die Klimakrise konfrontiert nicht nur unsere politischen Systeme mit enormem Handlungsdruck – sie stellt auch zentrale rechtsstaatliche Prinzipien auf die Probe. \nTatsächlich zeigen sich aktuell gegensätzliche Entwicklungen: Einerseits wird Klimaschutz immer häufiger vor Gericht erstritten – etwa durch strategische Klimaklagen. Andererseits übertreten einige Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten mit radikalen Protestformen bewusst gesetzliche Grenzen\, um auf die Dringlichkeit der Krise aufmerksam zu machen. Beide Wege zielen auf dasselbe – mehr Klimaschutz –\, stehen aber in einem grundverschiedenen Verhältnis zum Rechtsstaat. Gleichzeitig gewinnen autoritäre und rechtspopulistische Kräfte weltweit an Einfluss\, die den wissenschaftlichen Konsens zum Klimawandel in Frage stellen und Transformationsprozessen in Richtung Nachhaltigkeit entgegenwirken – auch unter Berufung auf individuelle Freiheitsrechte. \nGemeinsam mit Expertinnen und Experten unterschiedlicher Disziplinen diskutieren wir die gesellschaftlichen Folgen dieser Entwicklungen und gehen der Frage nach\, ob – und wenn ja\, wie – sich der demokratische Rechtsstaat angesichts globaler Krisen behaupten und zukunftsfähig entwickeln kann – und welche Lehren sich daraus für Südtirol ziehen lassen. \nProgramm \n\n\n\n09:00-09:15\n\nBegrüßung\nRoland Psenner\, Präsident\, Eurac Research\nHarald Pechlaner\, Leiter des Center for Advanced Studies\, Eurac Research \n\n\n\n09:15-10:00\n\nDie Klimakrise als Belastungsprobe für Rechtsstaat und Demokratie\nSvenja Behrendt\, Juniorprofessorin für Öffentliches Recht an der Universität Mannheim und Senior Researcher am Max-Planck-Institut zur Erforschung von Kriminalität\, Sicherheit und Recht\, Freiburg \n\n\n\n10:00-10:45\n\nZwischen Demokratisierung und Entdemokratisierung: Ziviler Ungehorsam im Zeichen der Klimakrise (online)\nRobin Celikates\, Professor für Sozialphilosophie an der Freien Universität Berlin \n\n\n\n10:45-11:15\n\nKaffeepause \n\n\n\n11:15-12:00\n\nKlimafrage\, rechtspopulistische Krisenmobilisierung und die Gefährdung der Demokratie\nAxel Salheiser\, Wissenschaftlicher Leiter des Instituts für Demokratie und Zivilgesellschaft\, Forschungsinstitut Gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt\, Jena \n\n\n\n12:00-13:00\n\n\nPodiumsdiskussion mit lokalen Expertinnen und Experten \nFederica Cittadino\, Expertin für internationales Umweltrecht und Governance\nKlaus Egger\, Sonderbeauftragter des Landes Südtirol für Nachhaltigkeit\nMichaela Krömer\, Rechtsanwältin für Klima-\, Umwelt- und Verfassungsrecht\nJulia Unterberger\, italienische Senatorin und Rechtsanwältin \n\n\n\n\n13:00\n\nAbschluss und Light Lunch \nSprache: Die Veranstaltung findet in deutscher Sprache mit Simultanübersetzung ins Italienische statt. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnmeldung bis zum 22.

La crisi climatica non solo mette sotto pressione i nostri sistemi politici\, ma mette anche alla prova i principi fondamentali dello Stato di diritto. Attualmente si registrano azioni contrastanti: da un lato\, la tutela del clima è sempre più spesso al centro di contenziosi legali\, si pensi ad esempio a cause intentate per motivazioni ambientali e puramente strategiche. Dall’altro lato\, alcune attiviste e alcuni attivisti violano consapevolmente la legalità con forme di protesta radicali nel tentativo di richiamare l’attenzione sulla crisi impellente. Entrambe le strategie mirano allo stesso obiettivo\, una maggiore protezione del clima\, ma si pongono in maniera profondamente diversa rispetto allo Stato di diritto. \nAllo stesso tempo\, forze autoritarie e populiste di destra stanno acquisendo sempre più influenza a livello globale\, mettendo in discussione il consenso scientifico sul cambiamento climatico e ostacolando i processi di transizione verso la sostenibilità\, spesso in nome dei diritti individuali di libertà. \nInsieme a esperte ed esperti di diverse discipline discuteremo le implicazioni sociali di questi sviluppi e ci interrogheremo se – e\, in tal caso\, come – lo Stato di diritto democratico possa affermarsi e consolidarsi in modo sostenibile di fronte alle crisi globali. Infine\, rifletteremo su quali insegnamenti possano essere tratti da tutto ciò per la realtà altoatesina. \nProgramma \n\n\n\n\n\n\n09:00-09:15\n\nSaluti istituzionali\nRoland Psenner\, presidente di Eurac Research\nHarald Pechlaner\, direttore del Center for Advanced Studies\, Eurac Research \n\n\n\n09:15-10:00\n\nCome la crisi climatica mette alla prova lo Stato di diritto e la democrazia\nSvenja Behrendt\, professoressa di diritto pubblico presso l’Università di Mannheim e senior researcher presso il Max-Planck-Institut zur Erforschung von Kriminalität\, Sicherheit und Recht\, Friburgo \n\n\n\n10:00-10:45\n\nTra democratizzazione e de-democratizzazione: disobbedienza civile nell’era della crisi climatica (online)\nRobin Celikates\, professore di filosofia sociale presso la Freie Universität di Berlino \n\n\n\n10:45-11:15\n\nPausa caffè \n\n\n\n11:15-12:00\n\nLa questione climatica\, la mobilitazione populista di destra in risposta alle crisi e la minaccia alla democrazia\nAxel Salheiser\, direttore scientifico dell’Istituto per la Democrazia e la Società Civile\, Forschungsinstitut Gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt\, Jena \n\n\n\n12:00-13:00\n\n\nTavola rotonda \nFederica Cittadino\, esperta di diritto ambientale internazionale e governance\nKlaus Egger\, incaricato speciale della Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano Alto-Adige per la sostenibilità\nMichaela Krömer\, avvocata specializzata in diritto e clima\, diritto ambientale e costituzionale\nJulia Unterberger\, senatrice italiana e avvocata \n\n\n\n\n13:00\n\nChiusura e light lunch \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLingua: L’evento si svolgerà in lingua tedesca con traduzione simultanea in italiano. \nRegistrazione entro il 22 ottobre: https://de.eu.surveymonkey.com/r/RuDRGK \n\n\nSito web dell’evento: https://www.eurac.edu/it/institutes-centers/center-for-advanced-studies/news-events/lo-stato-di-diritto-in-crisi
