On May 29th and 30th, 2025, the DSSTTA – Department of Earth Science and System and Technologies for the Environment conference took place at the Mole Vanvitelliana in Ancona. The event received logistical support from colleagues at CNR-IRBIM. Organized into two days, under the lead of the new director Francesco Petracchini, the conference was rich with presentations and guests and it brought together approximately 200 departmental colleagues in person, together with the directors of other CNR departments, as well as representatives from institutions and other research bodies. Plenary sessions and discussion panels addressed the most significant challenges facing the department’s future and the research conducted within it. From the future of strategic areas to open and accessible science, the conference facilitated a comparison between generations of researchers. It also delved into the infrastructures and technologies that form the research ecosystem, all within the broader European and international context of major global challenges. IRBIM’s direct involvement was important for the conference’s success, earning praise from the department. Meanwhile, the research Vessel was at the dock of Ancona, giving a chance to several collegues to visit this important DSTTA infrastructure.
