Degree & Profession© is a project promoted at an international level
by the Romualdo Del Bianco Foundation, a Florentine institution oriented
toward the younger generations, of students and professionals.
Degree & Profession© was born to satisfy the students' request to create
opportunities for them to enter in contact with the professional world once
they finish their studies and to facilitate their professional growth.
Therefore this project offers possibilities to young people to present
themselves to practitioners and institutions working in different sectors
and, on the other side, it provides also the professionals with the
possibility to identify and make contact with emerging new talents.
This initiative has taken a dual composition: a VIRTUAL EXPO always open on-line and the INTERNATIONAL FESTIVALS held during the year in Florence and around the world. http://www.florence-expo.com
All
the works uploaded on www.florence-expo.com
from January 1 to December 31, 2010 automatically participate in the
Virtual Expo and compete to win the international competition offered by the
Romualdo Del Bianco Foundation.

The 2011 Prize "Sustainable Architecture" Fassa Bortolo is more than a simple competition. It is a way of spreading a new culture in the building sector with the twofold aim of creating a new and exclusive meeting point for professionals of the sector as well as making the work of planners and builders well-known, a work resulting from their continuous search for the best balance between the human being and the environment. This initiative, which has been promoted by Fassa Bortolo - a leading company in the production of premixed plasters - and the Architecture Faculty of the University of Ferrara, aims at stimulating innovative solutions in the sector of bio-architecture. The prize will be awarded each year and is devoted to professionals and groups of architects and engineers who have implemented projects of sustainable architecture in the past five years.
