A meeting on the subject 'From polymer synthesis and characterization to 3D-printed devices: The impact of new digital and computing tools' was held in Catania at the Institute for polymers, composites and biomaterials (Ipbc) of National research council (Cnr)
Towards Fp9 - Cnr presents its 'Mission' proposals
Cnr is paying a lot of attention to the potential objectives and structure of the next Framework Programme. To this end, a new position paper was released, introducing the Cnr priorities in terms of 'Mission' as seems to be devised by the EC within Horizon Europe
Monitoring volcano deformation from space with Sentinel-1 data
Researchers at the Institute of Electromagnetic Sensing of Environment (Irea) of the Italian National Researc Council (Cnr) have developed an operative service for monitoring the crustal deformation in active volcanoes through the use of DInSAR technique and Sentinel-1 data
D4Science
D4Science is an organisation offering a Data Infrastructure since 2009. D4Science is operated by a team of professionals and researchers having as main objective the maintenance, the updating, the operation and the support for users of the infrastructure itself
Cities from the sea: city-port system and the waterfront as commons
The 5th international workshop 'Cities from the Sea' proposes a collaborative interdisciplinary experience to redefine the nexus of the city-port system and the waterfront, understood as commons. The workshop is open to participants from different disciplines: architects, planners, psychologists
Processes and technologies for the valorization of wastes and biomasses
The Institute of Research on Combustion (Irc) carries out research in areas of strategic importance for the national level of innovation, with implications on several fields: energy, industry, safety, environment, new materials. Activities, carried out at both theoretical and experimental level, aim to the develop combustion processes with low environmental impact and to develop new technologies for thermo-valorization of wastes, biomass and alternative fuels
Optical Remote Sensing
Cnr-Irea is a scientific and technological research institute affiliated to the Department of Engineering - ICT and Technology for Energy and Transport (DIITET). Irea has consolidated expertise in the fields of optical remote sensing. Optical Remote Sensing deals with those part of electromagnetic spectrum characterised by the wavelengths from the visible (0.4 micrometer) to the near infrared (NIR) up to thermal infrared (TIR, 15 micrometer), collecting radiation reflected and emitted from the observed surfaces
