Tavagnacco, 19th October 2024
“AI: research and innovation in the territory” is the title of a session, curated by SISSA in collaboration with the iNEST Consortium, SMACT, and the Maritime Technology Cluster FVG, to be held on Saturday 19th October at 11:30 a.m. at the P. Maurensig Immersive Theater in Tavagnacco (UD).

The session, curated by SISSA, will be divided into two roundtables: “AI, research, and ecosystems” and “AI and industry 4.0”. In the first roundtable, Gianluigi Rozza—Professor at SISSA and Spoke 9 coordinator—will engage in dialogue with Angelo Montanari, President of the Italian Chapter of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science and Head of iNEST Scientific Committee, Gianfranco Marconi, co-director of the Research Center of Danieli Group, and Carlo Urbanet, Head of Simulations of Electrolux.

Altogether, the event will focus on the crucial role that research and innovation in AI play in enhancing the industrial and academic fabric of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. The advantages of collaboration between universities and companies will be highlighted, as well as the importance of local institutions and innovation platforms in creating a favorable ecosystem for scientific and industrial growth.
