Events

"Orto in Festa" will celebrate ancient agricultural cultivars and the research conducted within the NODES Spoke 6 Flagship Projects, specifically the "Primary Agroindustry" initiatives known as VINO (Vineyard management for vine production) and FORMIDABALÆ (Forage system to establish resilient maize, dairy, and biogas supply chains for a sustainable agricultural ecosystem). This event features an interactive exhibition open to the public, showcasing the research activities carried out by the researchers involved in these projects. Here are the NODES events:    Interactive Exhibition (11:30 AM - 5:30 PM): The exhibition is curated by the researchers actively engaged in the VINO and FORMIDABALÆ projects. These projects are part of the PNRR initiative "Ecosistemi dell’Innovazione" under the NODES umbrella, with a focus on "Nord Ovest Digitale e Sostenibile". Distinguished researchers from esteemed institutions such as the University of Pavia, the University of Turin, the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, and the University of Sassari will be participating.   Project-themed Events (2:30 PM - 5:00 PM): The day also includes two insightful sessions hosted by Carlo Gariboldi, a respected editor at Provincia Pavese, focusing on the VINO and FORMIDABALÆ projects.                                                                                                                                                                                                 FORMIDABALÆ Research: This session will delve into strategies to enhance the efficiency, animal welfare, and sustainability of dairy cattle in the context of climate change. The presentation will feature insights from Cerzoo, an innovative agro-zootechnical company. Special guest: Professor Antonio Gallo (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore).                                                              VINO Research: What does the future hold for the world of WINE? A conversation on market trends and the impact of climate change on wine production.  

  Spoke 6 is organizing a significant event in collaboration with the University of Pavia and the University of Sassari (UNISS), Southern partners, at the Consorzio Uno (University of Oristano; Chiostro del Carmine - Oristano). The meeting represents a unique opportunity for businesses to learn about the cascade calls of Line A, exclusively dedicated to the Mezzogiorno region, within the NODES Ecosystem - Northwest Digital and Sustainable. The call, funded by PNRR funds, aims to support companies in the implementation of industrial research and experimental development projects. Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) can participate individually or collaboratively, and only large enterprises (LEs) in partnership with other companies.    The goal is to reach companies strongly interested in introducing innovations in product, process, or service within the digital innovation field or pilot projects on specific technologies or innovative structures. The expressed projects are oriented towards high technological maturity levels (TRL) and innovation closer to the market (prototypical phase).    During the event, NODES and Spoke 6 projects, particularly in Primary Agro-industry where the University of Pavia is the coordinator, will be presented. The cascade calls for research and innovation, as well as training activities for businesses, will also be introduced.   This is a unique opportunity for businesses to share know-how, explore new technological and sustainable paths with excellent partnerships.    The meeting will take place from 3:30 PM at the Chiostro del Carmine, Consorzio Università di Oristano, AULA 1, Primo piano.   REGISTER   STREAMING    

A unique opportunity for businesses in the Northwest Italian territory. On April 19, 2023, at 5:00 PM, in the Aula Disegno of the main headquarters of the University of Pavia, Spoke 6 presents the cascade calls.    The event is a unique occasion for all businesses interested in participating in the research projects of the NODES initiative. During the presentation, the two flagship projects of Spoke 6 will be introduced, focusing respectively on the integrated supply chain forage, livestock, and biogas, and vineyard management for grape and wine production.    Furthermore, experts from Spoke 6 will explain the application guidelines to the NODES cascade calls, opportunities for businesses, admission criteria, and selection.    The event provides an opportunity to connect with industry experts, learn about the latest developments in technological innovation and environmental sustainability, and network with other participants in the NODES project.

The conference, held on Saturday, March 18th, at 3:00 PM in the Agrimedia hall of the Agricultural Mechanization Fair in Savigliano, outlined the upcoming opportunities for companies through the calls of the PSR, PNRR, and POR-FESR measures.    In particular, the objectives and involvement of companies in the NODES project were explained, with specific reference to Spoke 6 (Primary Agro-Industry). Agricultural businesses and companies producing agricultural machinery will have the chance to secure funding to support their research and innovation activities, either individually or in collaboration with other companies and/or research entities, enhancing their competitiveness in national and international markets.    The areas and themes of innovation will focus on the digitization and sustainability of products and processes.
