Professor Christian Iaione will represent LabGov tonight in a IASC meeting in Utrecht.
The meeting will take place in the form of a dinner debate (diner pensant in Dutch) and will host several representatives of institutions and organizations from the civil society. The main target of this meeting is to kick-start the scientific debate that will completely blossom in IASC XVI Biennial Conference next year.
The IASC Conference 2017 will take place in Utrecht from the 10th to the 14th of July 2017, under the name “Practicing the commons: Self-governance, cooperation, and institutional change”. It is expected to attract over 600 academics, practitioners and others interested in the field of commons, and will be an excellent chance for them to meet each other, to learn from each other’s experiences and to exchange ideas.
Here are some images from the evening:

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is Europe’s longest-running intergovernmental framework for cooperation in science and technology funding cooperative scientific projects called ‘COST Actions’. With a successful history of implementing scientific networking projects for over 40 years, COST offers scientists the opportunity to embark upon bottom-up, multidisciplinary and collaborative networks across all science and technology domains. They have also enabled the creation of entirely new types of ‘digital’ or ‘virtual’ labour, both paid and unpaid, shifting the borderline between ‘play’ and ‘work’ and creating new types of unpaid labour connected with the consumption and co-creation of goods and services. This affects private life as well as transforming the nature of work and people experience the impacts differently depending on their gender, their age, where they live and what work they do.
Aspects of these changes have been studied separately by many different academic experts including sociologists, economists, geographers, political scientists, psychologists, organisational theorists and people working in such diverse fields as gender studies, management, innovation, development studies and industrial relations.With funding from the European Science Foundation’s COST programme, this Action brings together researchers from all these fields to compare results, survey the evidence and develop an understanding of how these changes in work take place and what their impacts are. The 7th Meeting of Working Groups will take place in Pavia from 21 to 22 March 2016 and Professor Christian Iaione will discuss a panel with the topic “Sharing economy: towards shared rules?” with Ivana Pais (Università Cattolica, Milan) and others speakers as Guido Smorto, (University of Palermo),Ursula Huws and Simon Joyce(University of Hertfordshire Business School) and Cristina Tajani(Municipality of Milan).

An Ecomuseum is a dynamic way in which communities preserve, interpret, and manage their heritage for a sustainable development. An Ecomuseum is based on a community agreement. Introduced by the French museologist Hugues de Varine in 1971, the word ecomuseum has often been misused and the definition of an ecomuseum is still a controversial matter for contemporary museology.Many museologists sought to define the distinctive features of ecomuseums, listing their characteristics.Following a complexity approach, in recent definitions, ecomuseums are more properly defined by what they do rather than by what they are.[1]
The ecomuseum phenomenon has grown dramatically over the years, with no one ecomuseum model but rather an entire philosophy that has been adapted and molded for use in a variety of situations. As many more ecomuseums are established across the world the idea has been growing and the changes in the approach towards the philosophy are reflected in the reactions of the communities involved. In recent time particular significance is the rise in ecomuseology in India, China, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, with significant increase in Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic and Turkey.Ecomuseums are an important medium through which a community can take control of its heritage and enable new approaches to make meaning out of conserving its local distinctiveness.
The Urban Ecomuseum Casilino “Ad duas Lauros” is located inside the Centocelle park, on via Casilina. In this urban reality, in the east of Rome and within G.R.A., there are various types of landscapes:
- The archaeological landscape that goes from the Mausoleo di Sant’Elena to the Catacombe di SS. Marcellino e Pietro, from Villa Imperiale di Centocelle inside the Parco Archeologico, to Villa Gordiani, through the Acquedotto Alessandrino and the Terme di Largo Irpinia.
- The landscape of spirituality ,this heritage is in fact part of the historic path of the Via Francigena that crossed Europe to reach the main cultural centers of Christianity
- The agricultural landscape of the Roman countryside with houses, towers, fields and pastoral areas.
- The natural landscape created by the presence of green areas
The Ecomuseum is an intangible infrastructure that brings together these landscapes, bridging them through extraordinary walking and cycling paths, which link together realities anciently connected by these modern views, in order to attract tourists to that area from all over the world.
For decades, urban planning in Rome does not take into account the needs of residents, but only those of profit and speculation, the Ecomuseum is now a new model of “development”. A new way to see the city.It promotes urban planning that incorporates the particularities with territorial wealth to use them to the fullest way, an urbanism that has as its main topic of community health. An easy and effective city, a citizen-friendly neighborhood where livabilityis the central theme.

On December 7th and 8th, the “Free innovation” workshop, organized by the association Libera will take place in Naples. The event is organized to celebrate the final phase of “Officine Libere”, an initiative by Libera in collaboration with the Youth National Agency. Prof. Christian Iaione, coordinator of LabGov, will moderate the panel devoted to the commons. Libera is an Italian organization of community empowerment born in 1995 with the goal of investing in civil society in order to promote a culture of legality and justice. Currently, Libera is a network of over 1500 associations, groups, schools, social innovators and entrepreneurs committed to building cultural and organizational synergies in order to spread the culture of legality.
Like many others active in this field, Libera understands that an appropriate governance arrangement for the commons is a key factor to fight against corruption and organized crime in the urban context. “The Regulation for the collaboration between citizens and the administration for the care and regeneration of the urban commons” already contains an article focused on this subject; the fifth paragraph of article 16 states that “the City can allocate buildings that have been seized from organized crime and assigned to the community for the intervention of care and regeneration provided by the Regulation itself.”
The collaborative approach to urban governance has already been adopted by the city of Battipaglia, in the context of the CO-Battipaglia process. The Prefect appointed in Battipaglia in 2014, after the dissolution of the Municipal Council due to Mafia infiltrations, commissioned a study from both ALVISI-KIRIMOTO and LUISS LabGov in order to develop the strategic guidelines for the Municipal City Plan (PUC). The team has the objective of producing guidelines for the realization of a collaborative territorial/local Pact for the care and regeneration of the local commons. The Pact will create a stable public, private, community partnership, that will be technically validated and shared between citizens and local institutions. The Pact will be the base for the establishment of a collaborative implementation method of the future PUC. Moreover, the Pact will be the first step of a new paradigm of local development for the care and regeneration of Battipaglia’s commons.
The goal of the workshop is to find a new, more innovative and more inclusive definition of “confiscated properties” (in the Italian normative framework, there is a specific law on this topic). The shift from the definition of confiscated properties to a one oriented to the commons can be very important and useful for policy makers to better address the topic and find better and more powerful solutions to foster the culture of legality.
Il sette e otto dicembre, a Napoli, si svolgerà l’innovazione libera, una due giorni di analisi e rilancio dell’attività di Libera. L‘innovazione libera è un momento nazionale che raccoglie i risultati del tour nazionale di progettazione partecipata Officine Libere e della programmazione delle Summer Schools già, è il luogo d’incrocio tra le buone pratiche dai territori e le innovazioni possibili con l’obiettivo di costruire una piattaforma con indicazioni, istanze e buone prassi comuni.
L’evento è organizzato per celebrare la fase finale di “Officine libere”, un’iniziativa da Libera in collaborazione con l’Agenzia Nazionale per i Giovani. Libera è un’associazione italiana di community empowerment nata nel 1995 con l’obiettivo di investire nella società civile per promuovere la cultura della legalità e della giustizia. Attualmente Libera è una rete di oltre 1500 associazioni, gruppi, scuole, innovatori sociali, imprenditori impegnati a costruire sinergie culturali e organizzative, al fine di diffondere la cultura della legalità.
Come molte altre realtà attive in questo settore, Libera ha compreso che una strategia di governance collaborativa dei beni comuni è un fattore chiave per la lotta contro la corruzione e la criminalità organizzata nei contesti urbano. Il regolamento per la collaborazione tra i cittadini e l’amministrazione per la cura e la rigenerazione dei beni comuni urbani contiene infatti un articolo finalizzato a questo obiettivo: il quinto comma dell’articolo 16 afferma che
“Il Comune può destinare agli interventi di cura e rigenerazione di cui al presente capo gli edifici confiscati alla criminalità organizzata ad esso assegnati”
L’approccio collaborativo alla governance urbana è già stato adottato dalla città di Battipaglia, nel contesto del processo CO-Battipaglia.
Per arrivare alla stesura delle linee guida strategiche del PUC – Piano Urbanistico Comunale, il Comune di Battipaglia ha avviato un LABoratorio di GOVernance locale per sperimentare, a Battipaglia, governance collaborativa, collaborazione pubblica ed innovazione sociale. Un’urbanistica collaborativa, che mette attorno allo stesso tavolo di co-progettazione cittadini, istituzioni, imprese, società civile ed organizzata, scuole ed università per proporre un nuovo modo di Fare, Vivere e Crescere insieme la città.
Il risultato del laboratorio è quello di restituire al Comune di Battipaglia un patto di collaborazione territoriale o locale che darà vita ad un partenariato stabile tra pubblico, privato e civico/comunità. Il patto, validato tecnicamente e condiviso dagli gli attori del territorio, instaurerà un nuovo paradigma di sviluppo locale orientato alla cura e alla rigenerazione dei beni comuni, in primis urbani, ambientali e cognitivi, di Battipaglia.
L’approccio, per affrontare una co-pianificazione urbanistica, deriva dalla fusione e contaminazione di due metodi di lavoro portati avanti da LabGov e dal Gruppo G124.
Il prof. Christian Iaione, coordinatore di LabGov, coordinerà il panel dedicato ai beni comuni nel corso del workshop organizzato da Libera. Lo scopo del panel è di trovare un nuovo, più innovativa e inclusiva definizione di “beni confiscati” per passare a una definizione più orientata alla governance dei beni comuni urbani.
