The Battle of Pavia and the Future of European Defense (1525-2025)
The Battle of Pavia took place in 1525. Nearly 500 years later, it is useful to recall not only its revolutionary significance, but also the many insights it can offer regarding today’s tragic events. The Project “The Battle of Pavia and the Future of European Defense (1525-2025)” has been promoted by Aspen Institute Italia with the contribution of the Fondazione Banca del Monte di Lombardia and Leonardo and in collaboration with Intesa Sanpaolo and the University of Pavia. The inaugural conference takes place on November 26, 2022, in the Aula Magna of the University of Pavia (the oldest university in Lombardy and one of the oldest in the world).
Background Document – The Way to Venice
As the second edition of the international conference on Ethics and Artificial Intelligence approaches (June 24-25, 2022), we are pleased to attach a Background Document that provides an update on the main trends and evolutions in the field since the first edition, in September 2021. The analysis focuses on four macro themes: AI as a strategic geopolitical lever; data driven and digital enabled business models; the twin revolutions (ecological and digital); and AI regulation. This document is our way of welcoming you to the conference’s second edition. We hope it both captures the spirit of the meeting and offers meaningful insights for future study of the crucial issue of “ethics and AI”.

Italy between energy security and the green transition
At one year from the start of the Ukraine war, which has upended an energy sector already struggling under the pressure of the post-Covid recovery, Europe finds itself faced with a “trilemma”.
Infrastructures to drive competitiveness, resilience and innovation
Large-scale events are undoubtedly an opportunity to plan medium to long-term infrastructure investments. Similarly, the PNRR can be viewed as a sort of large-scale event ready to reap the benefits of Italy’s experience hosting past events, with keen attention to both positive and negative results.
Ukraine’s defense of freedom: a conversation with our partner Aspen Institute Kyiv
There is ample consensus that a firm and cohesive response to the Russian attack on Ukraine must come from the international community, Europe in particular. There is also a clear awareness that neither punitive measures nor the supply of arms to Ukrainian forces are likely to radically impact the outcome of this military conflict.
