Regional, National and International Projects

Campania Region entomological collections mapping project.

Entomological collections are invaluable, useful for the classification of species, the study of biodiversity, evolution and the impact of environmental changes on ecosystems. The purpose of this portal is to publicize the collections in our region’s museums and stimulate the public’s curiosity about the world of insects.

DICOLAB

Territorial HUBs in Campania and Calabria where to implement the training activities envisaged by the Digital Library project implemented by the National School of Heritage and Cultural Activities, with the aim of increasing the value of Italy’s cultural heritage through a widespread and inclusive digitization process. Specifically, Città della Scienza is the lead partner in a partnership involving Mediateur and Accademia Leonardo da Vinci to design and deliver 40 training courses aimed at strengthening the digital skills of cultural sector workers in Campania and Calabria.

Esero Italy

ESERO ITALIA is a joint program of theItalian Space Agency (ASI) and theEuropean Space Agency (ESA), with support from a rich array of national organizations active in both education and the space sector.

ESERO is primarily aimed at training the community of teachers, who are the main conduit to students. ESERO ITALY offers free of charge certified training events for primary and secondary school teachers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) curricular subjects, innovative teaching materials adapted to national STEM curricula, interdisciplinary projects and educational events.

The activities of ESERO ITALIA are conducted, starting in 2021, by a consortium of institutions, selected by ASI and ESA, working in the field of dissemination of scientific culture. The consortium is led by the National Museum of Science and Technology “Leonardo da Vinci” of Milan and includes Fondazione Idis-Città della Scienza of Naples, Infini.To Planetarium of Turin, MUSE of Trento, Museo del Balì of Saltara (PU) and Psiquadro scarl of Perugia.

Erasmus+ – STRONGER Project

The project proposes to launch local experiments to create one-stop shops of integrated multi-partner ecosystem in employment, education and inclusion for young people. The experiments are being conducted on the basis of good practices identified internationally and the methodology used to create a Cité des métiers in Paris.

STRONGER ‘s goal is to improve cooperation among organizations. It works on the development of the skills and knowledge of youth professionals and youth workers and provides them with innovative methods and tools that improve their abilities to analyze the needs of young people and provide the guidance services they need to find jobs in the future.

AI-LEAP LEArning Personalization with AI and of AI project.

The AI-LEAP project aims to personalize the experience of learning and using AI. Looking forward, the hope is that the end user of AI technologies will no longer feel in awe of tools whose founding principles elude them but, through acquired cognition and familiarity, will become not only a knowledgeable user but also able to participate in the design and development of socio-technical environments. The activities involve disseminating to a wide audience the integrated educational learning path on E-AI, customized/adapted to different educational needs by organizing dissemination and dissemination events of the IA products produced during the project execution.

Surrounded by Science: Learning paths toward science proficiency

Every day, people of all ages are engaged in powerful science-related activities outside the classroom that spark interest and promote their understanding of science. However, it is not entirely clear what the results of such activities relate to the outcomes of traditional formal science education. Surrounded by Science brings together experts in science education research, science centers and museum educators, providers of outreach and informal learning activities, strong user communities, and policy makers to design and develop a systematic evaluation methodology that will analyze the impact of out-of-class science activities.

Surrounded by Science aims to have a lasting impact on science teachers’ ability to design more effective and efficient projects. The Digital Toolbox is available to partners within and beyond the project, enabling them to evaluate and set up more effective activities to achieve meaningful impacts on students. It also aims to enable formal science education to benefit by providing schools with recommendations on how to integrate successful informal activities into formal learning contexts.

Regional Strategic Project “Manifattur@ Campania: Industry 4.0”

The Regional Strategic Project “Manifattur@ Campania: Industry 4.0” aims to provide a new impetus for the 4.0 transition of the regional economy through integrated actions that, implemented by Fondazione IDIS-Città della Scienza, will qualify the regional supply of knowledge-intensive services, strengthen the capacity of Campania’s SMEs to develop and/or adopt new processes/products, and disseminate and disseminate to the market and the community the sustainable use of enabling technologies of theIndustry 4.0 paradigm.

Project “The Good Snack”

Following the signing of the Operational Agreement dated June 28, 2024, activities related to the Campania Regional Project called “La Buona Merenda” were started.

Città della Scienza has formed a dedicated Working Group. Among the scientific partners: the Departments of Medicine, Agriculture, Architecture and Design of the Federico II, CNR-ISA and IPCB, theZooprophylactic Institute and the Italian Society of Human Nutrition. During the work, guidelines for the Project were defined, including timelines and a Self-Regulatory Code establishing nutritional rules and criteria for natural cultivation and processing for all those involved.
