A distinguished academic career built on interdisciplinary curiosity, the ability to thrive in highly competitive international environments, and a collaborative approach to leadership has made Elena Cabrio a pioneer in one of artificial intelligence's newest frontiers: argument mining.

On May 26, 2026, FBK welcomed Alessandra Colonna, CEO of Bridge Partners® and a member of the Board of Directors of Fondazione Telethon. In conversation with Annalisa Morsella—trainer, counselor, and organizational consultant—she explored the topic of psychological safety and its role in building healthy, high-performing organizations.

A pioneer in speech recognition and a leading figure in the global machine translation landscape, after a long career at FBK (1990–2017), he is now a Senior Principal Scientist at Amazon, where he has led scientific teams in both AWS AI Labs and the European technology hub of Amazon Stores. We met with him to hear lessons learned over the course of his long experience at the forefront of scientific innovation.

We met Helena Bonaldi, a young researcher in the field of Natural Language Processing, to hear about her experience at FBK and to explore her path, which may inspire those considering applying for a PhD.

A meeting dedicated to the management community at FBK, to share relevant experiences and provide insights that support people management and development. Featuring Massimo Di Gregorio—former long-time manager at Thomson Reuters.
