Among the speakers was Massimo Carpinelli, Sole Administrator of CRS4, who emphasized how the Center, in alignment with the regional strategy, can play a key role thanks to its multidisciplinary structure and longstanding experience in large-scale research infrastructures.
CRS4, boasts advanced digital infrastructure and a scalable computing center, ready to support complex projects like the Einstein Telescope. The true added value also lies in the ability to work closely with businesses, fostering rapid and effective technology transfer. In a context where collaboration between research and industry is increasingly crucial, CRS4 is a natural partner for companies aiming to tackle high-tech challenges.
