EU Industry Days is Europe’s flagship annual event on industry serves as the main platform to discuss industrial challenges and co-develop opportunities and policy responses in an inclusive dialogue with a wide range of partners. It also helps to ensure that our policies at European, national, regional and local levels work together to enable European industry to deliver jobs, growth and innovation in Europe. The event will take place from 23 – 26 February.

We are very interested in the event because one of the INTERSECT mission is to exploit the synergic interplay among material and device simulation tools to reduce the gap between ideal and “real-life” materials, for direct and easy exploitation by industrial users. Our action is dedicated to pursue and accelerate the design of advanced complex materials and innovative devices for application in emerging electronics (e.g., synaptic electronics and neuromorphic computing), with the explicit intent to support and develop the competitiveness of semiconductor companies, including SMEs or startups (especially in Europe) that may suffer the competition with electronics giants from US or Asia. Contact us for more information on how we can support your activity (intersect@nano.cnr.it).

]]> WORLD SCIENCE DAY – 10th of november 2020 https://intersect-project.eu/world-science-day-10th-of-november-2020/ Mon, 09 Nov 2020 13:50:19 +0000 http://intersect-project.eu/?p=1611 Tomorrow, 10th of November 2020, is the World Science Day for Peace and Development promoted by UNESCO. The celebration highlights the significant role of science in society and the need to engage the wider public in debates on emerging scientific issues. It also underlines the importance and relevance of science in our daily lives. By linking science more closely with society, the World Science Day for Peace and Development aims to ensure that citizens are kept informed of developments in science. It also underscores the role scientists play in broadening our understanding of the remarkable, fragile planet we call home and in making our societies more sustainable.

The day offers the opportunity to mobilize all actors around the topic of science for peace and development. With this intent, our #intersecter Nicola Marzari from EPFL will take part to a national Italian event called “I love scienza” organized by Fondazione De Sanctis. The round table will take place tomorrow from 1,00 p.m. to 2,00 p.m. and will include many important scientific contributions.
