RAISE participated in the third edition of “L’Italia delle Regioni – Festival of Regions and Autonomous Provinces” which took place in Bari from 19th to 22th October with the focus “The Region of the future between digital and green: which skills?”
The Festival hosted institutional debates, performances, demonstrations and tastings and artificial intelligence laboratories, with the participation of all the Italian regions.
Michela Mortara and Tommaso Sorgente of CNR-IMATI represented the RAISE project, describing its motivations, objectives and actors involved, and giving a general presentation of the five Spokes, the cascade calls and the Training Plan, then going into detail about the two Spokes in which their institution of origin is most involved: Spoke 1 and Spoke 3.
“For Spoke 3” – comment Michela Mortara and Tommaso Sorgente – “we presented the concepts of marine, aerial, terrestrial, energy and citizen Ecorobotics, giving an overview of the Spoke products. The Interreg-Maritime MATRAC-ACP project of CNR-IMATI was also introduced and its natural evolution in Product 1.8 – Spoke 3 Adaptive Monitoring. For Spoke 1, however, we explained the concepts of Smart City and Urban Digital Twin, presenting the work done so far through the Living Labs and the Mobility and Education demonstrators. So we talked about the collaboration with the San Martino Hospital in Genoa as part of Spoke1 and also other projects of our institute connected to this Spoke, such as the House of Emerging Technologies in Matera, the Urban Intelligence Science Hub project in Catania.”
“I appreciated the curiosity and interest of participants of all ages towards new technologies” adds Michela Mortara, “the enthusiasm for the project’s proposals and the expectation of how the tools developed in RAISE will be able to improve their quality of life . It is a great incentive to give our best in our work.”
Furthermore, Antonia Abbasciano from the University of Bari was also speaker at the festival and illustrated the PMG project: Puglia Mobility Game, financed by the Spoke 1 cascade calls.
