BSBF Trieste
October 1 – 4, Generali Convention Center, Trieste
From October 1 to 4, there will be the third edition of the Big Science Business Forum (BSBF), an event about technologies and innovation and dedicated to the worlds of scientific research and business. The event aims to become the main meeting point between large research infrastructures and industry in Europe.
INFN will participate in various sessions and with a stand where it will showcase the frontiers of its research, ongoing projects, and collaborations with Italian and international companies. Significant planned investments in key technological areas, such as cryogenics, superconductivity, diagnostic systems, and many others, will also be presented. Three INFN-led NRRP projects will also be in the spotlight at the festival with their own stands: IRIS, for the development of high-temperature superconducting technologies, KM3NeT4RR, for the enhancement of a large submarine infrastructure for neutrino detection, and EUPRAXIA, for the construction in Frascati of a European research infrastructure for the development of an accelerator based on plasma technology.
