- mathematics and their concrete applications in everyday life
- numismatics, i.e. monetary systems from antiquity to the present day. proto-currencies
- the great discoveries that have had a fundamental impact on human development, such as the mastery of fire or the printing press
- dentistry
- water photography.

Last but not least, two other academies have been added to this already extensive list, thanks to the participation of specific partners. The first is supported by the Tropee dedicated to non-fungible tokenswith the aim of discovering the NFT ecosystem.
