Keeping up to date with professional rehabilitation practice is essential, but often complex: the sheer volume of new scientific evidence, limited time and the difficulties of implementing research in clinical practice make the challenge even greater.

2rTalks was created with this very goal in mind: inspired by Journal Clubs, it is an informal meeting between rehabilitation professionals – promoted by a group of SUPSI researchers – to encourage the dissemination and discussion of clinical research articles. Many healthcare professionals have participated in 2rTalks events over the years, adding value to the initiative.

To celebrate 5 years of 2rTalks, a special event will be held on Thursday 23 October 2025 with Christian Bernasconi, biologist, science communicator and presenter of Giardino di Albert (RSI), who will give a lecture on the role of science communication and research in the healthcare professions, offering new food for thought. This will be followed by a moment dedicated to thanking and rewarding the people who have contributed to the growth and success of 2rTalks over the last five years.
