Are you planning to be in Rome in October? Do you have a project, idea, or insight to share on resilient food systems, especially from a youth-led, collaborative, or multisectoral perspective?
We’re inviting expressions of interest for speed talks (10 minutes) to be presented at our upcoming regional meeting in Rome on 18 October 2025 – the weekend between the World Food Forum flagship event and CFS53. This is an open, informal call for inspiring short presentations that engage with the theme “Resilient food systems in turbulent times”. Participants at the meeting will be SIANI members, partners, and followers working in different sectors all over the world towards more sustainable food systems.
What we’re looking for:
Creative, insightful, and inspiring presentations—research, stories, initiatives, videos, images, poetry… anything that fits within 10 minutes and connects to the theme. All contexts, countries, and sectors are welcome!
Important note:
Unfortunately, we cannot cover travel or accommodation costs. We can therefore only accept submissions from those who will already be in Rome during the time of the event, or can cover their own travel arrangements and costs.
How to apply:
If you’re interested, please send us a short description (around 250 words) of your proposed talk by 12 September 2025 using this form. This is a call for interest – submission does not guarantee selection, but all proposals will be reviewed.
More information about the regional meeting and how to sign up as a participant will be shared later.
Let’s come together to share stories, spark ideas, and strengthen our collaborative efforts for resilient, inclusive and rights-based food systems!
