The Glinka World Soil Prize, launched in 2016, honours distinguished individuals or organizations that promote sustainable soil management, contributing to preserve soils and increase food security

The PNRA, the National Research Program in Antarctica, funded by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) managed by ENEA for logistics and CNR for scientific planning and coordination, will continue its activities during the end-of-year holidays. This year, about 140 researchers and technicians will spend Christmas over 15,000 km from home at the Mario Zucchelli (MZS), Concordia and Little Dome C bases, surrounded by the South Pole ice

Blood tests to identify infections using OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diode) and photonic crystals are the subject of a patent owned by ENEA (70%) and Fos SpA (30%), developed at the ENEA Nanomaterials and Devices Laboratory in Portici jointly with the Institute of Applied Sciences and Intelligent Systems of the CNR of Pozzuoli

Thanks to a Proof of Concept (PoC) fund and a combination of skills which include immunology, protein engineering, biotechnology and biochemistry, a team of ENEA researchers at the Biotechnologies Laboratory has patented a process to produce "detoxified" gluten for celiacs and gluten intolerants with superior nutritional and organoleptic properties compared to gluten-free products currently on the market.

Alessandra Scognamiglio, ENEA researcher at the Portici Research Center, has been appointed to lead the largest international conference on Photovoltaics (World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion - WCPEC) to be held next year from 26 to 30 September in Milan. Appointed General Chair following a selection procedure, she is the first Italian to lead the main international event in photovoltaics, which unites the three main conferences of this field, the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference (EUPVSEC), the Photovoltaic Specialist Conference (IEEE PVSC) and the International PV Science and Engineering Conference (PVSEC).

An Italian network open to companies, institutions, universities and trade associations to promote sustainable agrivoltaic systems, which combine the agricultural use of land with production of electric energy by photovoltaics.
