During the opening and the first round table “30 years of history: Bioethics and Law Observatory's contributions to contemporary bioethics (1995-2025)”, the artist Carlotta Cataldi created two digital illustrations live, conceptualizing and drawing in real time everything that the speakers were presenting.

The result is two highly valuable infographics that collect and summarize the topics discussed, reviewing the impact of the Observatory over these 30 years.
