The conference, organised by the Department of International Humanities and Social Sciences UNINT, will explore the challenges and opportunities of sustainability communication in a global and digitalized context. Through a multidisciplinary approach, it will involve academics, professionals, students and researchers to discuss innovative strategies and digital tools (AI, data visualization, storytelling) useful for promoting sustainable practices. The event represents an educational opportunity to deepen the connections between sustainability, innovation and communication, encouraging dialogue between the academic and professional worlds.
The conference was organized with the contribution of the Department of International Humanities and Social Sciences UNINT through the BRIDGE call and co-financed by the project: "The readability of sustainability information of listed companies and greenwashing scandals. A predictive model in a global context" (code 41/24) coordinated by Professor Sara Trucco and researcher Giulia Scardozzi, by the University of International Studies of Rome.
