Intercultural scientific dialogue thanks to the International Summer School of Alta Scuola

From 20^th to 26 ^th of August,Todi and Orvieto, in the Umbria Region, hosted the International Summer Schoolon " FOREST, TERRITORY, WATER and LANDSCAPE management in the climate change contest". The programme of the specialization course gathered public Universities from Algeria, Argentina, Brasil, Italy, Mali, Moldovia, Pakistan, Paraguay, Romania, Syria, Tunisia and USA, and it was developed by Alta Scuola.

This initiative came about in coherence with the mission of Alta Scuola, aiming at carrying out higher studies with an international character and a high scientific profile, intended for researchers and scholars in the disciplines of geology, geotechnics, hydrology and hydraulics, agriculture and forestry, architecture, urban planning and landscape planning, seismic science and those related to the conservation of artistic and monumental heritage. International cooperation in the field of environmental and land policies appears today, in the season of climate change, more useful and necessary than ever, and the International Summer School was an important opportunity for cross-cultural scientific dialogue.

Some of the many issues discussed were: knowledge and surveillance of the environment and territory through advanced diagnostic systems; forest, land and landscape management; landslide protection; and water and landscape management, by talking about climate, floods and droughts.

CAE sponsored the initiative and the President, Guido Bernardi, lectured on August 25 ^th, during the day dedicated to "Risk management: multi-hazard prevention plan", with a speech on "Early warning instruments".
