20° SIMPOSIO INTERNAZIONALE SU GESTIONE DEI RIFIUTI
RECUPERO DI RISORSE E DISCARICA SOSTENIBILE / 13-17 OTTOBRE 2025

Struttura del simposio

Il programma scientifico del Sardinia 2023 è strutturato in 8 sessioni parallele ed include oltre 450 presentazioni selezionate in base alla qualità dal Comitato Scientifico di Programma. 

Le presentazioni sono state organizzate in sessioni orali, workshop, Active Lab e poster. Le sessioni orali avranno una durata di 90 minuti, con 5/6 presentazioni seguite da un momento di discussione con il pubblico. I workshop saranno incentrati su temi più specifici legati alla gestione dei rifiuti e includeranno brevi presentazioni introduttive per aprire il dibattito tra i partecipanti. Gli Active Lab sono una serie di laboratori pratici in cui i partecipanti avranno l'opportunità di applicare nozioni teoriche, apprese durante le sessioni orali, a casi di studio reali e pratici promossi da un'azienda o da un gruppo di ricerca, così da fare esperienza diretta, imparare facendo e lavorare in team con colleghi ed esperti.
Oltre alle sessioni tradizionali, il Simposio quest'anno prevede quattro momenti di confronto in seduta plenaria: le Focus Sessions, che si terranno tutti i giorni al pomeriggio e saranno dedicate a temi specifici di alto interesse pubblico. Un moderatore, dopo una presentazione sullo stato dell'arte e un'introduzione da 2-3 esperti del settore, guiderà la discussione tra gli esperti e il pubblico. Il formato e le impostazioni della sessione saranno simili a un "talk show".

I Poster saranno sempre accessibili ai partecipanti al Simposio, in una zona dedicata. La discussione avverrà alla presenza degli autori dallunedì al giovedì pomeriggio dalle 16:30 alle 17:00. La sessione poster sarà inoltre accessibile anche digitalmente, consentendo la visualizzazione di video presentazioni pre-registrate, il download dei singoli poster e la discussione online con gli Autori da prenotare tramite la App ufficiale del Simposio.
