Smart cities, with the smart grid, are evolving rapidly. They integrate and use information to be shared between departments, infrastructure operators and with citizens for a greater, more responsive urban ecosystem. In a smart city, energy, water, transportation, public health and safety, and other key services are managed in concert to support smooth operation of critical infrastructure while providing for a clean, economic and safe environment. Best practices of public-private partnership for the benefit of the community will be illustrated during the session.

The recent development of the astrophysics in the whole international community is well represented in the local context. In Sardinia is hosted one of the largest and modern radio telescopes. The Sardinia Radiotelescope (SRT) with its 64m diameter and active optics, is able to look far in the universe and connect to the most distant human-built probes in our Solar System.
In the near future also the new field of gravitational wave (GW) observations of the universe may have a possible development in the Sardinia territory, thanks to the effort toward the proposal of an optimal site for the third generation of GW detectors, a possible extraordinary installation will take place in the dismissed mines, host the Einstein Telescope (ET).

Visit to Luna Rossa (36° America’s Cup) Scientific Lab

Luna Rossa has launched the challenge to the XXXVI America’s Cup to be held between January and March 2021. In view of the training, of the participation in the preliminary races and of its final goal, Luna Rossa will carry out studies, tests and research in the field of advanced computational fluid dynamics, in the design of the hull of the new boat and it will experience broadband connectivity to acquire the data necessary to optimize the duties of the crew. This is the purpose why Luna Rossa is one of the most advanced scientific and technological laboratory thanks to its collaboration with research centers specialized in scientific research and in High Performance Computing.
