Realizing that the sea represents 90 percent of the biosphere and covers more than 70 percent of the planet, we promote sustainable management and the adoption of eco-friendly practices to address global challenges such as climate change, pollution, and resource scarcity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-large-font-size\">The PMT foundation aims to serve as a point of reference for public institutions, universities, research centers and companies to research and develop innovative solutions that respect biodiversity and ecosystems, reduce the impact of waste (starting with plastic in the sea) and enhance the value of the sea as a key natural resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-large-font-size\">Through research, training and consulting projects, we support a sustainable and \"people- and business-friendly\" marine economy that ensures healthy food, renewable energy and well-being today and for future generations.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"oi-block oi-block-layout-space \" style=\"--oi-block-space-xs:70px; --oi-block-space-sm:80px; --oi-block-space-md:90px; --oi-block-space-lg:100px; --oi-block-space-xl:110px; --oi-block-space-xxl:120px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-headingSize-h1 has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color h1 wp-elements-16af0942b8b72e625f657e3a8c4aae29\">Founding Members. The Role of UNISG.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-large-font-size\">The University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo plays a crucial role in the creation of the Covenant with the Sea for the Earth Foundation, acting as a bridge between scientific research, cultural innovation and economic sustainability. Through its expertise in the food sector and collaboration with fishing communities and fish operators, UNISG has been able to highlight the inextricable link between human activities, marine biodiversity and the health of the planet. Through its network of strategic partners, universities and institutions, the University promotes an integrated approach to marine ecosystem management, supporting innovative solutions for water protection and natural resource enhancement. This commitment translates into a global vision, where awareness, education and research come together to build a sustainable future that starts from the sea and embraces the entire planet.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"oi-block oi-block-layout-space \" style=\"--oi-block-space-xs:30px; --oi-block-space-sm:30px; --oi-block-space-md:30px; --oi-block-space-lg:30px; --oi-block-space-xl:30px; --oi-block-space-xxl:30px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionepmt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UNISG.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-150\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionepmt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UNISG.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.fondazionepmt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UNISG-1536x1531.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fondazionepmt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UNISG-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.fondazionepmt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UNISG-575x573.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.fondazionepmt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UNISG-767x765.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.fondazionepmt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UNISG-991x988.jpg 991w, https:\/\/www.fondazionepmt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/UNISG-1199x1195.jpg 1199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n    <div class=\"oi-block oi-block-layout-space \" style=\"--oi-block-space-xs:40px; --oi-block-space-sm:50px; --oi-block-space-md:60px; --oi-block-space-lg:70px; --oi-block-space-xl:80px; --oi-block-space-xxl:90px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-headingSize-h1 has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color h1 wp-elements-b990657cdff8288f9db2a3201f5de210\">Organization of the Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-large-font-size\" id=\"consiglio-di-amministrazione\"><strong><strong>BOARD OF DIRECTORS<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-large-font-size\">In office for the term 2026\/2028, The BOD consists of 3 members:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-body-large-font-size\">1.
