The SUSTAIN (SUbstrate and Systems of Trays for Agricultural INnovation) project aims to transform Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) through the development of 3D-printed, recyclable substrate-tray systems that enhance plant growth, resource efficiency, and overall sustainability. By addressing the limitations of current materials and energy-intensive cultivation systems, SUSTAIN targets a 10–15% yield increase and the elimination of non-sustainable substrates. The project brings together a multidisciplinary team combining expertise in innovative material design (Simona [...]

On 15-16 September, the Department of Mathematics hosted the meeting Advances in mathematics: fluid-structure, sustainability, quantum mechanics. The event was a unique opportunity for the members of the Department to meet the Advisory Board of the grant “Excellent Department 2023-27” of MUR (Italian Ministry of the University). Filippo Gazzola, Luca Formaggia, Michele Correggi, Maurizio Garrione, Francesco Regazzoni, Alessandro Olgiati presented some results of the three lines of research (Fluid structure interaction, Mathematics [...]
