Host2026 is a research project that originates from the challenge of the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games (OPGs) in Valtellina. The issues on event management intersect with great opportunities related to the incoming funds and the media visibility that the territory will gain. In the pre-event period, the question is: “How can we activate sustainable […]

The digital revolution is reshaping the financial sector, making new products and services possible for the customers: but this does not come without a cost. More specifically, banks are facing the challenge of reshaping business operations and processes using digital tools and algorithms which are not exempted by what is called the “Regulation Tsunami”, an

Since Apollo missions, robotic exploration of deep space has seen decades of technological advancement and scientific discoveries. Today, NASA’s Artemis Program is envisioning a plan to drive humanity to live on the Moon. Indeed, the possibility of building a permanent settlement on the Moon is still a major challenge. In this framework, Alta Scuola Politecnica

Due to the recent regulatory push towards e- mobility, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) will likely represent the largest share of the market by the year 2030 [1,2]. The amount of retired Lithium-ion batteries, reaching the end of their first life after approximately 10 years of usage, will therefore massively increase: to maximize their value, a

In a context in which cities are rapidly evolving, the design of urban mobility and new smart solutions can play a major role. As the roads in urban areas become more congested, it is getting harder to commute at the ground level. The overall aim of the Metrosky project is to exploit the new class

A damper is a device that suppresses vibrations and dissipates their energy in the form of heat. The aim of the REGIM project is to bring an innovative regenerative damper into the agricultural sector. Regenerative dampers recover the kinetic energy of the vibrations and convert it into readily usable electric energy. REGIM is part of

The paper industry has historically managed resources in a linear logic: cellulose enters the process, paper comes out, and, with that, tons and tons of waste are disposed of. It can be estimated that up to 16 million tons of sludge are produced globally each year (Turner et al, 2022). What if that waste could

Buildings are among the most polluting entities, as research conducted by the European Commission found that they are responsible for approximately 40% of the overall energy consumption and 36% greenhouse emissions in the EU. It is therefore clear that an improvement in Buildings Energy Management (BEM) practices could have a significant impact in terms of
Currently, the world is experiencing a paradigm shift in the area of autonomous driving. The automotive industry is moving from partial driving assistance (Level 2) to conditional driving automation (Level 3). There are multiple obstacles to deploying level-3 autonomous driving, such as (lack of) regulations, business models, technology, and – quite important – costs. Nowadays,
Social media has set the stage to a complex, quickly changing and hyper-connected environment in which people interact with each other, building relationships and networks of peers. The Social Commerce (SoCo) project aims to address the possibility to exploit the electronic Word-Of-Mouth (e-WOM) spontaneously genera- ted in social networks in order to create economic value.
