riPENSIAMOci

Countdown to Researchers' Night 2022 27 and 29 September 2022

​​​

As part of the recurring event Countdown to Researchers’ Night 2022, CUBO, in collaboration with the University of Bologna and as part of the European project SOCIETY riPENSAci, presents riPENSIAMOci, a programme with two meetings aimed at investigating ideas and topical issues through unusual mental pathways. Dialogue and exchange among researchers allow to foster new constructions of thought, developing along usually unexplored paths and focusing on contamination between different disciplines and languages, enhancing the multiplicity of perspectives.

The meeting of 27 September will be held at CUBO in Torre Unipol and the meeting of 29 September at CUBO in Porta Europa at 6:30 PM.

Who's afraid of the economy?

The first event of riPENSIAMOci revolves around the topic of the economy in relation to the most important aspects of our society, explaining how it works in order to initiate positive changes for the well-being and improvement of people's quality of life. Speakers include three professors from the University of Bologna, **Pier Giorgio Ardeni**, an expert in political economy, **Chiara Avisi**, an expert in commercial communication law, and **Davide Dragone**, coordinator of the Health economics and management course.
A dynamic talk open to questions from the audience for reflections on subjects ranging from the quality of the healthcare system to globalisation-related phenomena and the increasingly prevalent role of digital platforms. Moderator **Gianluca Dotti**, science journalist.

Music that transforms and heals

• Thursday 29 September 2022 at 18:30 - 19:30

When did scientific research and art first meet? This is hard to answer, as history is full of examples of contamination of languages and knowledge between different disciplines.
Together with **Carlo Ventura**, Lecturer in Molecular Biology of the Department of Specialist, Diagnostic and Experimental Medicine at the University of Bologna and **Roberto Caterina**, Lecturer in Psychology of Perception, Psychology of Music and Psychology of Communication at the Department of Psychology at the University of Bologna, we will explore the transformation processes suggested by listening to and practising music, both at the psychic and biological levels, and the new frontiers of regenerative medicine.
Moderator: Prof.** Nicola Baroni**, Cello Professor at the Milan Conservatory.
