From Vigo to Catania
On March 28, a new Explicit Project secondment started in Catania, Italy. The team consisting of Salvio Nicosia, Provincial President of Federconsumatori, and Salvatore Canella, Carmela di Mauro, Alessandro Ancarani from the University of Catania, welcomed PhD student Joana Amorim from the University of Vigo.
The secondment took place at the headquarters of Federconsumatori, a non-for-profit association whose main objectives are to inform and protect consumers and users. The consumer experts collaborate with different institutions such as universities and the Parliament, as they have been working for years to defend consumer rights and have contributed to their constitution.



The secondee was also welcomed at the University of Catania by colleagues Alessandro Ancarani, Carmela di Mauro, and Salvatore Canella, where some ideas were exchanged on the research areas of the participants and possible scenarios for future research in the field of circular economy, smart manufacturing, innovation, and absorptive and dynamic capacities was discussed. Afterwards, all participants agreed to organise a Zoom meeting with Professor Orlando Lima Rua, co-supervisor of PhD student Joana Amorim, to deepen the contact and to work on some ideas to identify future research opportunities. The secondment came to an end on April 28.
