Pandemic experience and activity sectors

Abstract

The changes that in recent decades have involved various sectors of economic activity, in addition to the world of scientific research, have been given a new and unexpected acceleration due to the pandemic experience. In the various fields of knowledge, the redefinition of organizational models, of traditional research and teaching tools, and even of the initial epistemological basis has represented an unprecedented challenge for all those who represent the human resources of these areas in varying degrees. This introduction concerns the second part of this volume called “Global threats in the Anthropocene: from COVID-19 to the future”.
