Innovation Day 1

PITHIA-NRF organised the First Innovation Day on Tuesday 21-06-2022, aiming to make users from SMEs and the aerospace sectors aware of the PITHIA-NRF concept, the expected results, and the possibility to use the nodes for developing projects on validation and calibration of new instrumentation.

The event was held in Rome and it was hybrid. The online participation was guaranteed using an event management software. The local organizer was SET.

WHAT IS PITHIA-NRF?

PITHIA-NRF (Plasmasphere Ionosphere Thermosphere Integrated Research Environment and Access services: a Network of Research Facilities) is a Horizon 2020 project paving the way to new business practices and technological development in the near-Earth and upper atmosphere domains through excellent science. In doing so, PITHIA-NRF wishes to mitigate the adverse effects of upper atmosphere phenomena that pose scientific, operational, and societal challenges.

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT FROM INNOVATION DAY 1?

We want you to walk away from this event feeling aware of the kind of services you will be able to access through this innovative research infrastructure, like:

1. Open access to PITHIA-NRF’s nodes (TNA program) to install, calibrate, and validate new instrumentations.
2. Open access to the best models of the Earth’s Ionosphere, Thermosphere, and Plasmasphere through the e-science center.
3. Open access to FAIR long-term observational data.
4. Organized and systematic training for scientists and engineers.
5. An innovation platform for promoting cooperation and collaboration between the consortium and its stakeholders.
