Nel Workshop si è tentato di inquadrare le numerose innovazioni portate dalla nuova Legge, alcune delle quali potrebbero incidere in maniera molto significativa sui procedimenti e sulla efficacia degli stessi ai fini della tutela ambientale. In questo contesto si sono succeduti gli interventi delle stazioni appaltanti invitate: Italferr (Antonello Martino), ANAS (Giovanni Magarò), Sogin (Elena Bunone, Alessia Rossi) e Terna (Raffaele Fiorentino).
