Italy-Sweden bilateral workshop on smart sensor technologies and applications

In this workshop, jointly organised by the Embassy of Italy to Sweden and Linköping University, we will explore new trends, latest breakthroughs, and future perspectives on smart sensor technologies for Real World applications with high societal impact.

We will bring together researchers and entrepreneurs from academia, research centers, and industry operating in Sweden or Italy and working on innovative and application-oriented devices, materials, methodologies, processes, and strategies with focus on health, life sciences, agri-food, sounds, and sustainability. Participants from funding agencies, government institutions, and innovation hotspots will add valuable insights to the scientific discussion. 

The aim of the workshop is to offer networking opportunities and encourage the creation of a strong multi-sector, and multidisciplinary platform of experts who may share ideas, scientific results, and business strategies to accelerate solutions, drive innovation and build healthier and more sustainable societies.

The event will host a roundtable on Sensoristics: a World of Technologies and Applications for a Sustainable Future to discuss ideas, opportunities, strategies, strengthen existing bilateral cooperations and stimulate new collaborations, partnership programs and competitive international initiatives.
