Strong participation from institutions across Italy marks the 2025 edition of the FBK-IRVAPP course

Trento based FBK-IRVAPP organized a seminar by Marco Gui, associate professor and director of the University of Milan-Bicocca “Digital Wellbeing” Research Center

According to a comparative survey of Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom conducted by Irvapp-FBK and the Center on Social Inequality Studies-UniTrento, mastering advanced digital skills increases the likelihood of finding a job, in all countries analyzed. Nel Regno Unito, le competenze contano persino più della laurea. Non è così in Germania e in Italia, dove il titolo terziario ancora paga, accanto alle competenze digitali.

A research recently published in the prestigious scientific journal Scientific Reports shows that screening campaigns with rapid antigen tests to detect asymptomatic positives in the population are useful. Coordinated by FBK-Irvapp Director Mirco Tonin, together with fellow professors at the University of Bolzano, Davide Ferrari and Steven Stillman, the study, carried out using the data from the experiment conducted in South Tyrol in November 2020, indicates a significant lowering of infections (-45% in the infection growth rate) in the following weeks.

"We need a change of mindset". Those were the words of Enrico Giovannini, spokesman for ASviS, who on May 25 closed the event at the Trento Science Museum dedicated to the spread of the culture of sustainable development. In the video, interviews with Giovannini and IRVAPP director Antonio Schizzerotto.

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Lugano and the University of Pittsburgh (U.S.A.) reveals interesting implications. Fabrizio Mazzonna, professor of health economics, tells us more.

The search for candidates for the position of new director for the humanities center of Fondazione Kessler, who will replace Antonio Schizzerotto, IRVAPP’s Chief officer since its creation in September 2008, started yesterday.
