We congratulate our colleague Lisa Tedeschi, who, along with other 7 junior academics won the the prestigious “Italian Knowledge Leaders Legacy” award, “by her dedication to studying, researching and disseminating her scientific research and her remarkable commitment shown within the international scientific congress”. She is part of the European Congress of Conservation Biology local organizing committee, which will be held in June 2024 in Bologna, Italy (ECCB2024). The ceremony was held in December 2023 in the beautiful Campidoglio Palace (Rome’s Town Hall) in Rome, Italy.
MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Exhibitions) Industry has always based its actions on values such as collaboration and the dissemination of knowledge, aimed at creating a virtuous connection between scientific progress and the economic and social spin-offs that scientific conferences can generate to foster a knowledge-based society. Italian Knowledge Leaders is a project born within the Ministry of Tourism, the National Tourism Agency, and Convention Bureau Italy, to award Italian excellence in the academic and scientific fields recognized as ambassadors of Italy’s intellectual capital, for the quality and continuity of their commitment also to increase the number of prestigious international conferences held in Italy.
