The Salerno conference, a multidisciplinary approach for the issue 4 of Occupied Italy

In the setting of the Campus of the University of Salerno, the eight interventions have described a multidisciplinary and multi-spatial vision to the theme of occupation, a theme unfortunately dramatically contemporary due to the recrudescence of conflicts in the hot areas of the planet.

The director of DIPSUM Carmine Pinto brought the greetings of the department and the University while the president of Mubat and responsible for the CERV Avalanche project greeted those present on behalf of the entire consortium.

The conference, broadcast in streaming, had many participants on. line while many others requested access to the recording and documentation of the conference through the form made available on the institutional website of Mubat.
Dr. Francesco Aleexander Cacciatore and Professor Mariangela Palmieri moderated the two sessions in which the event was divided
