Progetti di ricerca

The RMUD Milano-Bicocca 2021 will offer the public an interactive path through the different dimensions of Raw Materials. The main objective of the event is to reach bachelor students, to show them the Raw Materials world as a possibility for study careers… Leggi tutto and an opportunity for working careers. This goal was set also in the 2018 UNIMIB edition of the event and we want to do the same in the next while taking advantage of the acquired experience. Illustration to students about the higher education pathways and career opportunities in the Raw Materials sector will be provided. For this second aspect, we will involve university spin-offs and SMEs (KIC and non-KIC partners). Moreover, presentation of EIT RawMaterials business creation opportunities, including the EIT Jumpstarter, is foreseen. Participants will be accompanied to learn about Raw Materials, their origin and their usefulness in everyday life. In particular, the intention is to raise awareness regarding issues related to the primary production of Raw Materials and at the same time to understand the secondary production and circular economy related to raw materials including: • Recycling and optimization of the materials chain for end-of-life products; • Substitution of critical and toxic materials in products and optimized performance; • Design of products and services for the circular economy The raw materials will be presented/experienced not only in terms of hard science, but also with respect to their daily impact on the life of each of us discovering the raw materials as essential components of common objects we use.

MEETmeTONIGHT (MEET) – “Face to face with the research” is the proposal for the European Researchers’ Night in 2020, happening in the major Italian cities of Milan, Naples, Caserta and Padua, complemented by Brescia, Castellanza, Cremona, Edolo, Lecco, Lodi, Mantova,… Leggi tutto Monza, Sondrio (Lombardy region), Avellino, Portici, Procida (Campania region), Cassino, Frosinone, Gaeta, Ventotene (Lazio region) and Asiago (Veneto region). The goal is to realize a special occasion of meeting and interaction between the public at large and the world of research, where researchers – at the forefront of all the proposed activities – can show themselves and what they do, in a simple, spontaneous, informal and entertaining way, actively involving the public. People, by doing, find themselves learning, getting amused, and becoming aware of how much research is for everyone and all around us. All MEET activities aim at promoting research and its outcomes, researchers and their profession, with a special attention to the youngest generations on one side, and to the recognition of the role of Europe on the other. With one common macro-theme, detailed in five thematic areas and five slogans, MEET proposes interactive stands, hands-on experiments and live demos that reconstruct the research environment; conferences, video projections, interactive games; guided visits to scientific museums; meeting occasions with researchers; European Corners; live broadcast moments. A special attention is given to schools’ pupils, for which a number of dedicated activities are foreseen, at the goal of encouraging them to consider research career as a concrete option for their life, and to sustainability, one of the most important topics to be considered to achieve a better future.

RENOIR is a European Training Network that brings together 13 beneficiaries (10 academic and 3 industrial), and 2 partner organizations (a private Onlus Foundation and a pharmaceutical company) to train 13 Early Stage Researchers with an interdisciplinary profile for outstanding… Leggi tutto carriers as leaders in the field of muscle regeneration and aging. Receiving a training programme in both scientific and transferable skills and using unique expertise and tools at the frontier between biology and engineering, this new generation of versatile researchers will dissect the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying impaired muscle composition and function, paving the way to new therapeutic interventions for muscle disease and aging. This will happen through collaborative and synergistic projects between academia and industry.
