📢 Ci saremo anche noi! Presenteremo un lavoro condotto in collaborazione con Innovhub-Stazioni Sperimentali per l’Industria relativo al comportamento in fase di #riciclo di substrati a base #carta rivestiti con #coating barriera. 📦 In particolare, l'intervento porrà particolare attenzione all'individuazione e misurazione di #particelle di coating nelle varie fasi del processo. #staytuned Andrea Marinelli Barbara Del Curto Maria Vittoria Diamanti Daniele Bussini Sara Baracani Dipartimento di Chimica, Materiali e Ingegneria Chimica "Giulio Natta" - Politecnico di Milano

What if learning wasn’t just about reading or listening but about experiencing? During our latest HECOF Project pilot, students explored complex concepts through Virtual Reality and AI-based Adaptive Learning, making the lessons more interactive, immersive, and engaging. From stepping inside a bioreactor to seeing chromatography in action, this pilot is reshaping how we learn!

AI is reshaping higher education—but how do we ensure it's ethical, inclusive, and fair for all? 🌍 The HECOF Project is tackling this challenge head-on by addressing key issues like bias in algorithms, transparency, data protection, and more. This isn't just about technology; it's about shaping a future that empowers students, educators, and communities alike. Curious about how we're building an equitable and responsible AI-driven classroom? 🎓 Watch the video to learn more: https://bit.ly/4azz7vG #EthicalAI #FutureOfEducation #HigherEdInnovation #erasmuspplus Konnektable Technologies Ltd.

Recently, we launched two new projects financed by European Union research programmes. Today, we would like to introduce R-evolve (Roll out Systemic Change to evolve the Furniture Industry towards CE through the Implementation of innovative Circular Business Models, Material & Design Strategies, and the Digital Product Passport), a project consisting of 23 partners from academia, industries, cluster associations and federations, which aims to promote a tangible sustainable transition in the furniture industry. Within the project, we will work on defining and applying Circular Economy Business Models and Circular Product Design Strategies, building a bridge between the two, and between theory and practice. Two weeks ago, we had the opportunity to meet the partners and define the work plan for the coming months and 4 years, but also to exchange ideas and have fun together. We can't wait to start and collaborate with different realities! #strategicdesign #designplusstrategies #designculture #research #design #sustainability #transition #furniture

Yesterday the event “Ecodesign degli imballaggi in carta nel settore alimentare – Nuove sfide tra riciclabilità, modelli di consumo e conservazione” was held in Parma at Centro Congressi Santa Elisabetta. ♻️🥡 Barbara Del Curto took part on the panel titled "Università a confronto - Materiali compositi per il packaging alimentare: stato dell'arte e prospettive future" with the speech “Innovazioni dei materiali compositi a base di carta” regarding the research carried out by MakingMaterials group about innovations in the Italian and European cellulosic and coating packaging market.
