Gabriele Sacchettini

Holding a degree in Economic Social Sciences from the Università degli Studi di Firenze, after obtaining a Master SMEA in the management of the Agro-food sector, in 2014 I earned  a Ph.D. from the doctoral school Agrisystem of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Piacenza. Until the end of 2015 I was a temporary research associate at the Istituto di Chimica Agraria ed Ambientale of the same university collaborating with the OPERA research center. Since 2016 I work as permanent researcher for Aeiforia srl (spinoff of the same university). Activities I am currently involved include research initiatives at national and European level, especially regarding the sustainable use of plant protection products in agriculture, sustainable water resources management, stakeholders’ engagements and scientific training and communication activities to promote sustainability in the agro-food sector.

He co-leads WP13-DISSEMINATION and participates into WP12-POLICY and WP5-QUALITYCHEM.

Nicola Ballerini

Nicola Ballerini has a MSc in Forestry Management Systems obtained at the University of Florence, Faculty of Agriculture. Since 2012, he is mainly involved in studies to measure the environmental fate of agrochemicals. He is responsible for the management of a weather stations network.

Lucio Botteri

Lucio Botteri has a MSc in Agrienvironmental and Lanscape Sciences, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Piacenza, Italy. He has good experience in field leaching studies in GLP, analytical characterization of water and soil, and in determination of residues on environmental matrixes.

Maura Calliera

Degree in Agricultural Sciences at the Università Statale di Milano. Thesis focused on a fugacity model validation to predict organic pesticide pollution from agricultural practice in surface water. Post graduate grant at University of Milan Bicocca, Department of Environmental Science and Landscape in development of a GIS-based methodology to estimate and mapping the ecotoxicological risk by pesticide to surface water at main watershed scale From 12 years contract research at Catholic University of Sacred Heath f Piacenza Italy. The main and recently research activities are focused on the development of Guidelines for Sustainable Use of Pesticide in a multi-stakeholder process. Involved in several European projects including, in relation to the topics covered by GLOBAQUA, EU FP7 HEROIC project that aims to establish stronger interfaces between human and environmental Risk Assessment and risk management for better sharing of knowledge, and development of -clear, easily understood, transparent integrated RA procedures. 11 papers published in international refereed journals.

Working for UCSC (sub-contractor of AEIFORIA srl), she is involved in WP12-Water management policy.

Tommaso Ferrari

Tommaso Ferrari has a MSc in Agrienvironmental and Lanscape Sciences at Università Cattolica (Piacenza, Italy). He has good experience in field leaching, dissipation and OPEX studies conducted in GLP. He has knowledge of analytical methods for the chemical characterization of water and soil.

Alice Tediosi

Alice Tediosi has a PhD in Technological Innovation for Agricultural, Nutritional and Environmental Sciences, with a thesis in the field of herbicide transport from land to surface waters. She has got experience in pesticide fate modelling, and in water balance modelling to assess crop water requirements for irrigation purposes.
