As part of the 19th International SIIV Summer School: “Transportation Infrastructures toward Green Transition,” the 8th SIIV Arena was held on September 8, 2023.
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.”
Also for the 2023 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 8th Edition of the SIIV Arena:
- Eng. Carlo CARPANI, Marche Polytechnic University, award for Best Experimental Activity;
- Eng. Fabio RONDINELLA, University of Udine, award for Best Technology Impact;
- Eng. Manuel DE ROSE University of Calabria, award for Best Innovative Idea.
