I must say the @ec.europa.eu and #EUIPO 'GI Capitals Tour' is a blast.

This is a souvenir of the Dublin stop. Helping stakeholders to make the most of the new EU GI System is a real privilege and I always learn much more than I teach.

è uno scherzo di Carnevale?

Più che altro fatico a seguire la logica. Il problema è che l'università italiana sia irriformabile (basterebbero più risorse e ispirarsi ai sitemi stranieri) o che ci sono troppi studenti ed era più bello il XIX sec? Poi gli studenti pagano una retta eh? non stanno ricevendo un favore...

I really liked the 'Atlas of Endangered Alphabets' by Tim Brookes

We discuss a lot about loss of biological diversity, and rightfully so. However, I sometimes feel like we do not pay equal attention to the loss of cultural diversity, which is equally worrying.

Blue press helmet lies on top of a blue press vest, on top of a body covered in white cloth. Text on screen reads: 'Israel's war on Gaza is the deadliest conflict for media workers ever recorded'

Israeli forces have turned the occupied Gaza Strip into one of the most dangerous places on Earth for media workers.

No journalist should ever be targeted for carrying out their work.
