We look forward to inspiring discussions, fruitful collaborations, and future achievements together!

Strengthening Cooperation through VISION and CHEDAR

The visit supports the ongoing collaboration on VISION, the joint research project involving the University of Florence and the Italian National Research Council (CNR), and offers a valuable opportunity to deepen cooperation with CHEDAR.

Meetings and research exchanges in Florence bring together complementary perspectives on engineering, digital technologies, cultural heritage and innovation, encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue and the development of future joint initiatives.

Connecting Researchers and Communities

Beyond scientific exchange, this visit helps foster lasting relationships, knowledge sharing and opportunities for research, training and community engagement across institutions and countries.

We are delighted to host the two Visiting Professors and their collaborators throughout November and look forward to the new ideas and partnerships that will emerge from their time in Florence.
