With the tenth stage, the journey of ROUND GRIP comes to an end. This initiative, organized by Spoke 2 - Green Technologies and Sustainable Industries, has step by step encouraged collaboration between researchers and businesses, helping innovation flow from research into the local area.   Thanks to this program, a dynamic and innovative community has taken shape. On this occasion, it comes together to share the experiences gained along the way and to look collectively toward the upcoming challenges of the ecological transition.   ROUND GRIP has proven its value in building a strong connection between research and the productive sector, under the coordination of the University of Turin and with the involvement of the Polytechnic University of Turin, the University of Eastern Piedmont, the University of Insubria, the University of Basilicata, and the University of Sannio, together with companies from the regions of Piedmont, Lombardy, Campania, and Basilicata. This dialogue has made it possible to turn academic knowledge and scientific results into concrete actions that promote environmental sustainability and support technological progress.   The tenth stop will take place on December 11th, 2025, at 3:30 p.m. in Turin. We look forward to seeing you there!   Sign up here Discover the journey of ROUND GRIP and relive its stages!   Relive ROUND GRIP
