The multidisciplinary research project “PROGEO-Piemonte” aims to achieve a new conceptual and operational discipline in the management of the geological heritage of the Piemonte Region by means of the development of techniques for recognizing and managing its rich geodiversity at the local and regional scale. Nine strategic geothematic areas were selected to represent the geodiversity of Piemonte, each characterized by high potential for scientific studies, enhancement of public understanding of science, recreation activities and for economic support to local communities. Specialized research teams will analyze critical aspects to advancing knowledge about the geological history of the Piemonte Region. In this context, an interdisciplinary research team covers the aspect of the geodiversity action plans for dissemination activities, including didactic tools for educators, schools and public in general. This group is collaborating with a publishing house in Turin to edit a multimedia product in Earth Sciences devoted to Secondary Schools, entitled “Geological tours in Italy”, whose format could be used to include and disseminate the outcomes of the PROGEO-Piemonte project.

Abstract

The multidisciplinary research project “PROGEO-Piemonte” aims to achieve a new conceptual and operational discipline in the management of the geological heritage of the Piemonte Region by means of the development of techniques for recognizing and managing its rich geodiversity at the local and regional scale. Nine strategic geothematic areas were selected to represent the geodiversity of Piemonte, each characterized by high potential for scientific studies, enhancement of public understanding of science, recreation activities and for economic support to local communities. Specialized research teams will analyze critical aspects to advancing knowledge about the geological history of the Piemonte Region. In this context, an interdisciplinary research team covers the aspect of the geodiversity action plans for dissemination activities, including didactic tools for educators, schools and public in general. This group is collaborating with a publishing house in Turin to edit a multimedia product in Earth Sciences devoted to Secondary Schools, entitled “Geological tours in Italy”, whose format could be used to include and disseminate the outcomes of the PROGEO-Piemonte project.
