PhD candidate at the Università Politecnica delle Marche, Agnese successfully defended her thesis entitled: “Valorization of marine biodiversity to engage local communities in the design of tailored conservation measures”, receiving an excellent evaluation!

The PANTHER project was born out of her three years of doctoral research, and we have been supporting it since 2023. As a reminder, this innovative initiative aims to restore key marine habitats around the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria by actively involving local communities—fishermen and residents alike—to strengthen ecological resilience in the face of climate change.

🐟 Agnese’s thesis, carried out at the Polytechnic University of Marche, represents a major scientific advancement, promoting marine biodiversity while fostering the co-creation of conservation strategies with local stakeholders.

🙏 We are very proud to have supported her in this ambitious project, which transforms science into concrete action!
