SUN - Social and hUman ceNtered XR, Funded by Horizon Europe
The Social and hUman ceNtered XR (SUN) project has been launched in December 2022. SUN has been approved for funding by the European Commission within the Horizon Europe program, HORIZON-CL4-2022-HUMAN-01-14 - eXtended Reality Technologies (RIA). The Institute of Information Science and Technologies "Alessandro Faedo" of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-ISTI) will coordinate the SUN project and will participate with the Artificial Intelligence for Media and Humanities (AIMH) and Visual Computing (VC) laboratories
Applied Bayesian Statistics Summer School
The topic chosen for the 2023 school is: Bayesian Causal Inference. The course is organized by Cnr-Imati Institute for Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies of the Council of the National Researches of Italy and will be held next 12-16 June 2023. The aim of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts and state-of-art methods for causal inference under the potential outcome framework. The lectures will be organized by the treatment assignment mechanisms. Topics will cover randomized experiments, observational studies with ignorable assignment mechanisms, natural experiments, sequential ignorable longitudinal treatments
The last issue of CNR-ISTI Newsletter is out!
The issue n. 11 of the newsletter of the Institute of Information Science and Technologies "Alessandro Faedo" (CNR-ISTI) highlights the scientific results of the first six months of this year. Moreover, it contains the editorial of the Director of the Institute, Roberto Scopigno, on several initiatives to improve the way ISTI communicates with the external world (including also the new graphic design of this newsletter), a Cover Story on the Era of Digital Agricolture, and the announce of a prestigious award presented to an ISTI colleague
A new material increases the production of "green" hydrogen from biomass
A newly synthesized nanomaterial is able to increase the production of green hydrogen from biomass through the photoreforming process, which exploits sunlight to "extract" hydrogen from green waste with the help of a catalyst, in this case a new photo-catalyst based on titanium dioxide. This is the result of a recent collaboration between the University of Trieste, Cnr-Iccom, Czech Advanced Technology and Research Institute of Olomouc and Cnr-Ism (Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste). A study published in Chem Catalysis
Special issue: innovative approaches in reshaping the supply chain for societal challenges
Guest Editors: Rosanna Fornasiero (CNR-IEIIT), Andrea Zangiacomi (CNR-STIIMA), Tatsushi Nishi, Toshiya Kaihara. We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the special issue Innovative approaches in reshaping the Supply Chain for societal challenges of the journal Production Planning and Control (Impact Factor: 7,044). The aim of this special issue is to reflect on the evolution of Supply Chain towards the Industry5.0 paradigm enhancing the active role of different Supply Chain stakeholders such as workers, consumers and citizens and leveraging digital technologies. In particular, it is necessary to fill the gap by collecting recent advancements in research and the application of interdisciplinary and innovative studies going beyond the factory level to address Supply Chain with the specific aim to reshape it for societal challenges
