Engineering Department, Piazzale Tecchio, Naples
On July 10, 2025, in the splendid setting of the historical library of the Department of Engineering in Piazzale Tecchio, the C.I.R.AM. - Interdepartmental Center for Environmental Research of the University of Naples Federico II enthusiastically welcomed a delegation from Tongji University in Shanghai, among the most prestigious academic institutions in China.
The meeting, part of the international scientific cooperation initiatives promoted by C.I.R.AM., involved three professors - Professors Yongmei Li, Lin Wang and Qiunan Sun - and 27 students, for a total of 30 participants, who were joined by Chinese colleagues and students from the University of Macau, making the day even richer in perspectives and cross-cultural exchange. Officially opening the proceedings was Professor Giulia Guerriero, director of C.I.R.AM., who had just returned from an academic mission to Egypt as a visiting professor. In her welcome address, she emphasized the value of international cooperation as a strategic lever for the growth of research and education, setting the stage for a day of scientific and human exchange. Professor Yongmei Li then spoke, introducing Tongji University and, in particular, the teaching and research activities of the College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering, illustrating shared research trajectories. Next, Professor Domenico Pirozzi, representing C.I.R.AM., took the floor and presented the main lines of research developed by the Center, highlighting numerous similarities with the activities of Tongji University and emphasizing the strong potential for future synergies.
The initiative represented not only a moment of scientific and academic insight, but also a concrete opportunity to strengthen ties between the two universities. In fact, an international agreement for academic collaboration between the University of Naples Federico II and Tongji University is being finalized.
The day confirmed C.I.R.AM.'s commitment to promoting interdisciplinary and sustainable research and strengthening scientific dialogue with international partners, consistent with the Federico II University's global mission.

Scientific research is seeing rapid progress, driven by technological advances and the growing need to address global challenges. Modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and big data analytics have become essential tools that accelerate discoveries and improve the accuracy of results. Furthermore, scientific research is increasingly adopting an interdisciplinary approach, in which fields such as biotechnology, physics, environmental sciences, and engineering converge to develop innovative and sustainable solutions. Another significant trend is the focus on sustainability and environmental protection, with ongoing developments in renewable energy, natural resource management, and climate adaptation strategies.
To this aim, the Egyptian Society for Environmental Sciences (ESES) is hosting its ninth conference, "Artificial Intelligence and Scientific Research," and has invited Giulia Guerriero, director of CIRAm and an honorary member of ESES since 2009, to speak as the keynote speaker on the topic.

La Conferenza della Mediterranean Life Sciences Union (MedLIFE) nasce con l’obiettivo di costituire una federazione unificata che riunisca e rappresenti le comunità scientifiche attive nelle Scienze della Vita nell’area del Mediterraneo. MedLIFE si propone di coinvolgere ricercatori provenienti da tutti i settori delle Scienze della Vita, sia nell’area mediterranea sia a livello globale.
La missione dell’iniziativa è promuovere la ricerca di base e applicata nelle Scienze della Vita, con particolare attenzione alle sfide ambientali e sociali più urgenti, offrendo soluzioni innovative per i grandi temi dello sviluppo sostenibile. La visione che guida MedLIFE è quella di contribuire alla costruzione di un futuro sostenibile per il pianeta e per l’umanità.
In qualità di Program Chair di MedLIFE e Coordinatrice dei Coordinatori del Mediterranean and Middle East University Network Agreement (MUNA), la Prof.ssa Giulia Guerriero, Direttrice del CIRAm, ha rivolto un invito formale a tutti i dipartimenti degli atenei nazionali e ai coordinatori internazionali del consorzio MUNA a prendere parte attivamente all’iniziativa.
