The project will be concentrated on creating a technology push for a new material. The MadFlex (PCT WO2016120785 A1) is a lightweight asymmetric composite material panel, having a sandwich-like structure. It exhibits two order-of-magnitude difference in bending stiffness, depending by the direction of the applied bending moment, thanks to a reversible buckling phenomenon of one

In recent years, the knowledge in flexibility to adapt to service change has been developed and analysed by several scholars from different study fields: it is the ability of a structure to be able to change its functions and environments in the short, medium or long term, based on the costs and users’ needs. This

Nowadays, expected effects of climate change at local, regional and global scales endanger hydrologic budgets of Alpine regions. An example is the massive shrinkage of mountain glaciers, with the consequent problem of water resources reduction for civil population and ecosystems. Therefore, it is very important to monitor glaciers’ evolution, in order to allow an estimation

We live in the era of big data and that means outstanding opportunities to get insight into manifold phenomena that shape or affect our communities and territories. On the other hand, a fair access and use of this information have to be advocated in order to turn data into valuable actions that foster safety, development,

The project identified an innovative solution aimed at satisfying the increasing demand for remote work services. The solution was based on an analysis of the academic literature in order to understand the evolution of different models in different periods. Instead of focusing on the (in some sense) trivial “work at home” paradigm, the project considered
