7th SIIV Arena | The Winners
As part of the 18th International SIIV Summer School: “Sustainable Pavements and Road Materials,” the 7th SIIV Arena was held on September 9, 2022.
The SIIV Arena is a discussion space in which doctoral students and young scholars from different academic locations illustrate their research on topics of specific interest to the Scientific Disciplinary Area ICAR/04 “Roads, Railways and Airports.”
In the 2022 edition, the Board of Directors resolved to award three prizes and give, to each, a cash prize of 500euro/each.
Young researchers enrolled in the SIIV Arena competed for the awards, which was done through evaluation activities of a Scientific Committee appointed for the purpose by the Board of Directors.
The contribution of all participants can be found at the bottom in multimedia form and in the form of proceeding from the long abstracts(consult by clicking here).
The winners of the 7th Edition of the SIIV Arena:
- Eng. Elena GAUDENZI, Marche Polytechnic University, award for Best Experimental Activity;
- Eng. Ennia Mariapaola ACERRA, University of Bologna, award for Best Technology Impact;
- Eng. Mariagrazia MODICA, University of Messina, award for Best Innovative Idea.
