Link:  NanoInnovation 2019

NanoInnovation is the national meeting place for the wide and multidisciplinary community involved in the development of nanotechnologies and their integration with other key enabling technologies (KETs), in all application fields. The event is designed to inform all interested players:

• Researchers, technologists, managers, entrepreneurs and investors can share their experiences, opinions and expectations about the role of nanotechnologies for future innovations
• Professionals and business operators can better understand how to take advantage from the use and application of nano-related products.
• Young researchers, PhDs and students, can gather latest insights on scientific and technical developments in nanotechnologies
• Media and the public can have an overview of concrete and up-to-date applications of nanotechnologies

Innovative Micro and Nanotechnologies for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Chair: Sabrina CONOCI, STMicroelectronics
In collaboration with: STMicroelectronics & Distretto Tecnologico Sicilia Micro e Nano Sistemi

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is the new frontier of automotive technologies. In this context, the current research aims to develop nanomaterials and innovative technologies to assist the driver during the driving. This goal is pursued through multifunctional approaches based on the development and integration of innovative sensors able to monitoring multiple parameters involving key aspects for the driver. These mainly includes: (a) the driver’s psycho-physiological status through the real time control of its drowsiness (the heart rate and its variability) and its sobriety level; (b) the driver’s environment through the monitoring of air quality of the passenger compartment. In this Workshop a survey of the most innovative approaches for ADASs will be presented.

WInSiC4AP – A European project to compete in the SiC global market

Chair: Leoluca LIGGIO, Distretto Tecnologico Sicilia Micro e Nano Sistemi
In collaboration with: STMicroelectronics & Distretto Tecnologico Sicilia Micro e Nano Sistemi

WInSiC4AP core objective is to contribute in developing reliable technology bricks for efficient and cost-effective applications addressing social challenges and market segments where Europe is a recognized global leader as well as automotive, avionics, railway and defence. This workshop aims to demonstrate the powerful of SiC for those sectors, through an innovative research approach developed in the project, that will permit to overcome the “state of the art” of the available components as expected from the results by the end of the project.
