The first SCORAI Festival in Italy / June 11th-14th 

 

A back-to-back associated event alongside the 2026 SCORAI-Global Conference

Bridging Continents - Bridging the Research-Action Gap - Extending the Reach of our Scientific Insights into Practice!

Submit a contribution or simply participate in the SCORAI festival this summer in Italy, which will create a common ground for sustainable futures in these divisive times!

At the Common Ground Festival you will experience what our futures can look like when people from near and far and from different cultures and backgrounds come together. When everybody can drop in and share their skills, talents, experiences, and knowledge. When we share our passion for researching sustainability, living healthy lives, and helping society solve its biggest problems, we can create resilient and flourishing communities. Experience the magic that unfolds when we link science with sharing our research work, and practical insights among our favourite foods, art, music, and stories of positive change!

What if we could cultivate a common ground that prevents and counteracts war, discrimination, climate extremes, biodiversity loss, pollution, and unfair access to basic rights like health, education, safe food, and housing? What if we could make clean mobility and energy accessible for all? What if we had food systems that help regenerate the soils instead of depleting them? It all starts with us! Let's create a culture of collaboration! Let's foster co-creative communities of peace, not war!
