Thanks to a Fellowship from the Institute for Advanced Studies, Prof. Rod Fensham, a well-known international expert on spring ecosystems, particularly in arid climate contexts, and founder of the Fellowship of the Spring (FoS), is Visiting Professor at our Department from April 6th to May 16th. Among the various activities related to the Fellowship, he is holding a series of seminars and conferences at the Bologna and Ravenna campuses (flyer attached).
The next appointment is perhaps the most important of his study and research visit to us and is the ISA lecture that will take place at the Ciamician in Aula III next Tuesday, April 29 at 5:30 pm. This will be followed by the seminar on the ethnography of springs in the Afar region of Ethiopia on Wednesday, April 30th in Aula T (Via San Giacomo 9) and then two seminars in the Ravenna campus.
