Airi is celebrating its 50 years of activities, acting since 1974 as a reference to sustain and promote Industrial Research. We work with our members in promoting industrial R&I, and co-operation between the private and public sectors. Our actions focus on technology foresight, advocacy on R&I policies and incentives, STEM skills and education, and cooperative R&S projects on enabling technologies.
Ongoing activities relate to new bio-based, high performing and Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) solutions, combining advanced materials, digital techs and other KETs for diverse industrial sectors:
- REPOXYBLE (Horizon Europe): new generation of multifunctional, safe and sustainable epoxy-based composites, with case studies in automotive and aerospace.
- BIORING (HE, Joint Biobased Undertaking): novel portfolio of biodegradable and recyclable, bio-based coatings with enhanced thermo-mechanical performance, with case studies in construction, furniture and automotive.
- SURFTOGREEN (HE, Joint Biobased Undertaking, start in October 2024): innovation action to demonstrate robust and scalable solution for fully bio-based surfactants for industrial applications, with case studies in home/personal care, textile, and agriculture.
- UMARI (NODES innovation ecosystem): valorising plant and agriculture waste, to develop nutraceuticals, cosmetics products, and biostimulants and biocides for a sustainable agriculture.
- INNOVATION OF THE NEXT FUTURE: a unique foresight analysis of Italian capacities and competences on enabling technologies for industrial research. The next edition will soon be published!
- RENATO UGO SCHOLARSHIPS: A prize of 5000 euro for the best industrial thesis. The application is open in the following STEM discipline: Ingegneria Civile, Architettura e Ingegneria Edile-Architettura, dell'Ambiente e territorio, Chimica e Chimica Industriale, Scienze dei Materiali, Biotecnologie Industriali, Farmacia, Scienza dei materiali.
