Quote

As a chronobiologist I explore the concept of “the circadian city”: how do modern societies deal with time, affecting different social dimensions (education, labor, health) and representing a clear polytunity for innovation. I am excited to join IID2025 to discuss transversal public policies of time use for individuals and society.
