An Anticipation Study organized by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre. 2015: invited expert by Science Europe in the workshop Research Infrastructure at the academia-industry interface: The role of European networks. Research He has published over 200 publications, of which 32 on international journals (in Scopus: H index 14, citations 463), 55 on national peer reviewed scientific journals, 58 on technical extension journals, 9 book chapters. His scientific activity has taken into account several areas dealing with Agronomy, Crop Science and Soil Science. At first he has mainly studied forage production problems both related to rangeland management and intensive agriculture. His main actual interests are now centred on the Agronomy of conventional and

3 organic cropping systems, with a specific focus on fertilization problems. Mineral and organic fertilizers, manure and soil improvers are studied to enhance their fertilization efficiency, soil quality and environmental sustainability. The effects of different agronomic managements strategies on nutrients availability, cycling to harvested plant or plant residues, fate in the soil, contribution to gaseous losses, and evolution of soil organic matter are studied at various scales: pot, soil column, field, farm, catchment. C and N modelling is often used to relate different scales of study and explore new methods to prevent nutrient losses to surface and ground water and gaseous emissions from the soil. At a larger scale his research is aimed at understanding the multiple relationships between economically viable cropping systems and environment. At the European level he is at present partner of one Life+ projects, one Marie Curie ITN project and two CA projects under FP7 framework. He has coordinated national research projects, some of which were financed by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture. Other coordinated projects are locally financed by the Italian Piedmont Region. He is now responsible of a research unit in a national PRIN research program and of two Regional interdisciplinary programs. He coordinates a research group that includes an Associate Professor, a graduated technician, two post-doc fellows, one PhD student, and four non permanent technicians. Referee activity He is active as referee for research proposals of the Italian Ministry for the Education University and Research (MIUR), of the Department of Agriculture of the Lombardy Region in Italy, of the University of Padova, and Naples in Italy. In 2011 he is Guest editor of a Special issue of Agriculture Ecosystem & Environment. He is referee of the following journals: European Journal of Agronomy, Journal of Environmental Management, Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment, Geoderma, Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, Organic Agriculture, Grass and Forage Science, Agrochimica, Italian Journal of Agronomy. Scientific Societies and Academies He is member of Italian Society of Agronomy and American Society of Agronomy. He is member of the Academy of Agriculture of Turin : secretary of the executive board of the Italian Society of Agronomy : President of the Italian Society of Agronomy
