On 6th March the conference "The challenges of innovation" took place in the context of the ESOF events in Trieste.

One of the guests was Prof. Gianluigi Rozza, SISSA Director's delegate for Technology Transfer and Industrial Cooperation, who talked about the future of computational engineering, medicine and the environment still based on the mathematical formulas of the 700th century.

The equation model, said Rozza, is applicable to different areas and never died, confirming that to look to the future we need to know the past.

Tech Up is a project by Fondazione R&I aimed at collecting the best proposals to address the growing technological needs of big companies. The initiative will be presented on 22 November 2018, starting from 11.30 am at the Contamination Lab - UNITS (via Fabio Severo 40, Trieste). The event is organized in the context of UNITY FVG (United Universities of Friuli Venezia Giulia).

Purpose

The purpose of this Call is to encourage, on one hand, the collaboration between companies and scientific research in the mechanism of knowledge transfer and production, and, on the other hand, to facilitate the constitution of interdisciplinary and non-interdisciplinary postDoc and PhD groups that could work in synergy and that could apply their problem solving skills and their methods and knowledge to punctual and actual innovation problems deriving from the real world.

Progetto pilota ideato e finanziato dalla SISSA –  in collaborazione con Confindustria VG – che per la prima volta in Italia intende coinvolgere specificatamente e sinergicamente giovani ricercatori SISSA e Piccole e Medie Imprese permettendo a queste ultime di entrare in contatto – a costo zero - con il mondo della ricerca e con le opportunità che essa può offrire a supporto della loro competitività e nel contempo cercare di dare soluzione – sempre a costo zero -  a loro problematiche tecniche reali e concrete.
