GARR Consortium: The INFN is a founding member of this consortium, along with the CRUI Foundation, the CNR and ENEA. It was set up to manage and implement the broadband telecommunications network for the Italian scientific and academic community. www.garr.it

REDI è un centro di ricerca, innovazione e formazione. La sua missione è di contribuire allo sviluppo di ricerche interdisciplinari per migliorare la preparazione e la risposta ai disastri da parte delle comunità, diminuendone il tempo di recupero e ripresa. L'approccio adottato è quello del knowledge-for-action, che implica un incessante impegno a mettere in atto il circolo virtuoso tra conoscenza e innovazione per poter agire efficacemente e senza ostacoli, in modo che l'avanzamento della scienza e il progresso tecnologico possano interagire positivamente per massimizzare i loro rispettivi impatti, anche a livello sociale.

REDI è costituito da una partnership aperta di istituti di ricerca italiani ed europei e università che svolgono ricerche approfondite sul campo del “natural risks reduction”, con l'obiettivo di avviare un hub internazionale dove vengano sviluppate metodologie innovative per: i) la co-progettazione, in collaborazione con i cittadini, le comunità, i governi ai diversi livelli e tutte le parti interessate; ii) l'implementazione di soluzioni ecologicamente sostenibili e integrate in solide politiche di sviluppo, per la mitigazione delle conseguenze e/o la riduzione dei rischi dei disastri.

REDI è stato fondato da 4 istituti di ricerca italiani: INGV, INFN, GSSI e UNICAM.

Il Comitato Direttivo, presieduto dal Rettore dell’Università degli Studi di Camerino, prof. Claudio Pettinari, è composto da: prof. Eugenio Coccia, prof. Carlo Doglioni, prof. Fernando Ferroni e prof. Massimo Sargolini.

La Commissione Scientifica, coordinata dal prof. Massimo Sargolini, è composta da:

REDI Fall School - A multidisciplinary training for disaster-risk-reduction scientists and disaster managers

The aim of the INFN-ENERGY research project is to develop skills and instruments in the use of nuclear physics in the energy sector. The issues addressed under this strategic project include: decommissioning and waste treatment, control of radioactive materials, research and development of new nuclear fission technology, environmental monitoring and training. In this area of research, collaborations are essential, both with industries in the sector (in particular, Ansaldo Nucleare and SOGIN) and with other national and international organisations involved in specific activities in the sector (e.g. ENEA, CNR, polytechnics, Euratom). The INFN-ENERGY project consists of five specific lines of research: • TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSFER • ADS, FAST REACTORS, BURNING AND TRANSMUTATION OF WASTE • TECHNIQUES FOR THE PRODUCTION AND MONITORING OF FAST NEUTRONS • REACTOR PHYSICS • NUCLEAR FUSION

The INFN’s special project activities regard the development and construction of Italian or international research infrastructures. Special projects are managed by specific technical-scientific committees.
