Out of more than sixty presentations evaluated, seven fixed-term researchers were awarded a prize during the Return Final Meeting ‘Communication, dissemination and exploitation of results’, held in Naples on 4 December 2025.
The awards, presented as part of the Return Project, celebrated scientific excellence and the ability to communicate research results clearly, rigorously and effectively.
The awards were given to the best oral presentations in the four thematic sessions of the conference: Land, Cities, Infrastructures and Sea.
The evaluation committee, composed of Laura Gaggero, Marco di Bacco, Francesca Bozzano, Francesco Ballio, Fabio Dioguardi, Maria Pina Limongelli and Luca Pozza, assessed not only the quality and innovativeness of the scientific content, but also the ability to contextualize the research work, the effectiveness of dissemination and the potential impact of the results on the scientific community and society.
