La Conferenza CNR-IRET 2025 sarà dedicata alla valorizzazione delle recenti progettualità dell’Istituto incluse nel PNRR ed in altre iniziative nazionali ed internazionali. Sarà un’occasione per stimolare l’interazione tra i vari gruppi di ricerca e tutto il personale, favorendo lo scambio di idee, esperienze e buone pratiche.
La Conferenza sarà strutturata sulle tematiche affrontate dai gruppi di lavoro (GdL) e maggiormente rappresentate all’interno del nostro Istituto. Ricercatori, tecnologi e dottorandi potranno portare un contributo sottoforma di presentazione orale o poster. Per la selezione dei contributi, saranno preferiti quelli dei colleghi che parteciperanno in presenza, dei neoassunti e dei nuovi collaboratori, così da promuovere una maggiore conoscenza reciproca.
La Conferenza sarà tenuta in lingua italiana. Per rendere accessibili i contributi a tutti i colleghi, presentazioni e poster dovranno essere redatti in lingua inglese. L’esposizione di presentazioni e poster-flash talk potrà essere sia in italiano che in inglese, a scelta del relatore.
I contributi saranno valutati dalla commissione scientifica secondo i criteri di qualità e rilevanza per la tematica della conferenza. Qualora necessario per necessità organizzative, ci riserviamo la possibilità di spostare alcuni dei contributi per le presentazioni orali alla sessione poster. I contributi selezionati verranno inseriti nell’abstract book della Conferenza CNR-IRET 2025.
Il miglior poster votato da tutti i partecipanti sarà premiato alla fine della Conferenza.
Saranno promossi ulteriori momenti di confronto attraverso diverse tavole rotonde, focalizzate sulle tematiche dell’Istituto. Inoltre, sarà dato uno spazio di rilievo agli amministrativi coinvolti nelle delicate operazioni relative alla gestione dei progetti. Un’occasione unica per condividere conoscenze, costruire collaborazioni interdisciplinari ed esplorare nuove opportunità di finanziamento.
La Conferenza CNR-IRET 2025 sarà organizzata rispettando il principio di gender equity.
La registrazione all’evento è obbligatoria e le spese di coffee break e pranzi sono coperte dall'Istituto.

In Campania, the rich varietal heritage of sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) has contributed to providing the region with a notable agrobiodiversity so increasing its environmental value. The peculiar soil and climate conditions of the territory favored the natural diversification of ecotypes adaptable to local environmental contexts, allowing the Campania chestnut germplasm to be among the richest and most differentiated in Italy. The selection activity carried out by chestnut growers has generated further diversity in the choice of varieties, selecting the genotypes with the best production and quality characteristics. The contribution of hybrids and non-native varieties has further enriched the local germplasm. The increasing interest in chestnut cultivation for production purposes requires greater clarity and protection in the field of varietal recognition. Varietal identification is in fact an essential element for rational management of chestnut horchards. Chestnut growers, to date, do not have a suitable tool to ascertain the genetic nature of the propagation material they use, because the morphological characteristics, as it is well known, present limitations of various kinds and can be misleading. The KasTrack project aims to provide chestnut growers with an innovative system for varietal identification through the release of suitable protocols and bioinformatics tools to the control laboratories interested in providing the service. To achieve this goal, an interactive and open access database is being developed where the detected genetic fingerprints of chestnut cultivars will be deposited. The main national cultivars are being collected in an ex-situ collection, publicly accessible for both sampling and morphological observation, to be used as reference standard for the interpretation of the results of the genetic analysis. Furthermore, geospatial data of chestnut tree positions are being acquired in chestnut farms (mainly PGI and PDO varieties) together with their genetic and molecular characterization (Fig. 1). This information will be used to define the presence and diffusion of the main chestnut species and their hybrids by creating a genetic-spatial mapping, so contributing to enriching the KasTrack database. Finally, knowledge and expertise on the effective use of the developed service for varietal recognition will be disseminated to all potential stakeholders (chestnut farms, nurseries, processing companies, and public institutions), so allowing to seize future opportunities, also in terms of sustainability, and taking into consideration the protection of chestnut agro-biodiversity.
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) address environmental challenges while providing co-benefits for society and biodiversity. However, their successful adoption and implementation require accessible, digital, and interactive resources to guide stakeholders through the planning, implementation, and monitoring phases. Comprehensive catalogues offer to practitioners curated lists of NbS practices, while interactive tools facilitate spatially explicit planning, co-design, and adaptive management. Over the last decade, the European Community's effort in funding NbS research and implementation projects has been very significant. The results obtained in such projects have shown that digital resources can empower policymakers, practitioners, and communities in upscaling NbS by bridging knowledge gaps and providing practical guidance. Nevertheless, information on NbS remains fragmented, dispersed across multiple platforms, or overly focused on one or a few specific ecosystems (e.g., urban). Furthermore, the lack of standardization and consistent monitoring protocols for measuring NbS effectiveness, continues to impede the interaction among disciplines and the widespread adoption of NbS across diverse ecosystems. This work provides 1) an overview of NbS platforms, tools and repositories, showing their crucial role, as well as the barriers and gaps that hinder their effective use for NbS uptake, for example the lack of monitoring- and business-oriented platforms; 2) guidance and suggestions to upload and update NbS case studies into relevant repositories, according to the project outputs and the societal challenges addressed. A total of 115 platforms and digital tools were identified and further categorised according to the kind of data stored: a) Case Studies, namely implemented solutions in projects or research studies (23%); b) Categorical Solutions, also known as measures or units not necessarily related to a specific case study (10%); c) Data, such as tabular data and databases (31%); d) Knowledge Exchange, namely publications, reports, webinars, etc. (77%); e) Decision Supporting Tools, interactive web-based or stand-alone software, as well as methodologies (30%); and f) Simulation Tools (17%). The 27 platforms storing case studies were further analysed to identify, first, the platforms enabling the users to upload or update data and, second, the following parameters assessed by simulating the upload of case studies: (i) the upload modality; (ii) the type of outcomes, namely Actions and Initiatives, Strategies including Policies, or Data generated from Monitoring activities through Key Performance Indicators; (iii) the relevancy to the 12 societal challenges following the NetworkNature’s European Roadmap to 2030 for Research and Innovation on Nature-based Solutions; (iv) the focus on biodiversity and/or business data. Finally, the 12 platforms enabling the upload and update of case studies were included in a flowchart and described synthetically in NbS case study repository profiles, to guide users in selecting the most suitable online repositories, based on the characteristics of the case study they wish to share.
