ICCOM Pisa will be involved in the Research Area with several open laboratories:
- Earthworms: an aid in waste management (Dr. Claudia Forte, Dr. Silvia Pizzanelli, in collaboration with IRET-CNR). It will be shown how earthworms can be considered chemical reactors in which organic waste is transformed into compost for agriculture.
- Chemistry for young and old (Dr. Beatrice Campanella, Dr. Emanuela Pitzalis, Dr. Esther Punzi, Dr. Cosimo Malvestio) with interactive experiments, science recipes, colorful crystal gardens and more.
- Interdisciplinary activity with games, stands and video pills that are good for the environment of the WoW group – Win on Waste by Drs Francesca Cicogna and Serena Coiai
- Light, Color, Images, Imagination (Dr. Vincenzo Palleschi, Dr. Bruno Cocciaro) with experiments on the nature of light and color, carried out with self-built instrumentation at very low cost
- Robots inspired by nature (Dr. Vincenzo Palleschi, Dr. Bruno Cocciaro) to learn how to build remotely controlled robots inspired by nature with a 3D printer and simple electronic components.
- Innovative catalysts towards a more sustainable production of green hydrogen (Dr. Claudio Evangelisti, Dr. Emanuela Pitzalis). Towards new catalysts in which critical elements – precious for their cost and lack of availability on the planet – are replaced with more sustainable ones.
It is possible to view the entire program of the Research Area of Pisa on www.nottedeiricercatori.pisa.it.
