iNEST – Spoke 5 (2022-25)

iNEST stands for Interconnected Nord-Est Innovation Ecosystem. iNEST is a 110 million euros 2022 PNRR project, aimed at extending the benefits of digital technologies to the main areas of specialization of the North-East Italy (Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Veneto and Trento + Bolzano): the industrial-manufacturing, agriculture, sea, mountains, construction, tourism, culture, health and food. The University of Verona is involved in the Spoke 5: Smart And Sustainable Environments (Manufacturing, Working, Living)

Smart And Sustainable Environments (Manufacturing, Working, Living)

The Spoke’s shared goal is the development of innovative, smart, sustainable, digitally-driven working and living environments within a human-centric design framework. The global scenario in which the Spoke moves its steps is the transition from the so-called 4.0 revolution to the new 5.0 paradigm. Its socio-technical vision considers sustainability, quality of life, inclusion and psychological well-being as indispensable outcomes. Four Research Tasks (RTs) are involved:

• RT1: New and Emerging Technologies for Human Centric Manufacturing and other industrial working environments
• RT2: Digital Twin in Industries 5.0
• RT3: People, organization, and processes for Industry 5.0
• RT4: Personalized Assistive Technologies and Smart Environments for Inclusive Living in private and public spaces
