Angela Boggero | Environmental Science | Best Researcher Award

CNR-Water Research Institute (IRSA) | Italy

Dr. Angela Boggero is a distinguished Italian researcher specializing in freshwater ecology, with a primary focus on macroinvertebrates and invasive species in aquatic ecosystems. She is currently a senior researcher at the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) – Water Research Institute (IRSA) in Verbania Pallanza, where she leads research activities related to the ecological assessment and management of freshwater biodiversity. Over the years, she has made significant contributions to the study of lake and river ecosystems, particularly in understanding the role of benthic communities as indicators of ecological quality in compliance with the EU Water Framework Directive. Her previous experience includes serving as a researcher with LifeWatch Italy, the Italian component of the European LifeWatch infrastructure, where she was responsible for studies on the vulnerability of freshwater ecosystems to the introduction of alien species. She has also worked extensively with the Institute of Ecosystem Study (ISE-CNR), focusing on the ecological monitoring and assessment of macroinvertebrate communities in subalpine and alpine water bodies. Angela’s academic background includes a degree in Biological Sciences with an ecological focus from the University of Turin, where she studied reproductive mechanisms and genetic variability in marine organisms. Throughout her career, she has participated in numerous national and international research programs and has contributed to advancing methodologies for aquatic biomonitoring, biodiversity conservation, and invasive species management. Her scientific expertise and leadership have supported Italy’s compliance with European environmental directives and fostered collaboration within the broader scientific community. Fluent in English and proficient in other European languages, she continues to play a vital role in promoting interdisciplinary research and sustainable management of freshwater ecosystems.
