PURPOSE As cancer surgery restarts after the first COVID-19 wave, health care providers urgently require data to determine where elective surgery is best performed. This study aimed to determine whether COVID-19–free surgical pathways were associated with lower postoperative pulmonary complication rates compared with hospitals with no defined pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS This international, multicenter cohort study included patients who underwent elective surgery for 10 solid cancer types without preoperative suspicion of SARS-CoV-2.

Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused rapid and drastic changes in cancer management. The Italian Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (SIGO), and the Multicenter Italian Trials in Ovarian cancer and gynecologic malignancies (MITO) promoted a national survey aiming to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on clinical activity of gynecologist oncologists and to assess the implementation of containment measures against COVID-19 diffusion. Methods: The survey consisted of a self-administered, anonymous, online questionnaire.

Based on research and intervention direct experiences of the authors in the OPT, this paper offers a contribution about the circulation and exchange of knowledge in the framework of international cooperation, strictly related to the urban planning field of practices.

Space Situational Awareness (SSA) has become a maor issue in the international debate due to the growth of commercial space activities and the correspondent increase of obects orbiting around the Earth. As no State can conduct a comprehensive monitoring of the whole space environment and orbits, SSA requires a strong international cooperation both on the technical aspects of surveillance and on the sharing of information acquired. In this sense, States conclude bilateral agreements and public-private arrangements to promote wider exchange of information.

Science is ideally suited to connect people from different cultures and thereby foster mutual understanding. To promote international life science collaboration, we have launched "The Science Bridge" initiative. Our current project focuses on partnership between Western and Middle Eastern neuroscience communities.
