Innovation ecosystems for research and local development
UniTo’s Scientific Platforms represent an ecosystem of multidisciplinary research that brings together the expertise of the University of Turin to address the major scientific and industrial challenges of our time.
These thematic platforms were created with the aim of:
- Bringing together researchers and laboratories around strategic focus areas
- Creating stable bridges between the academic world and the production ecosystem
- Developing innovative solutions for local competitiveness
- Promoting the ecological and digital transition
The areas currently covered range from aerospace to renewable energy, from the circular economy (plastics and water) to enabling technologies such as artificial intelligence. Each platform works in synergy with the others, fostering a systemic approach to innovation.
This flexible model makes it possible to:
- Optimize the use of research infrastructures
- Accelerate technology transfer
- Respond promptly to business needs
- Participate effectively in regional, national, and European funding programs
The platforms therefore take the form of true knowledge hubs, where different skills converge to generate scientific, economic, and social impact across the region.
How to collaborate
The platforms are open to:
- Companies that want to solve specific problems or develop new ideas
- Institutions that need scientific support
- Researchers interested in taking part in multidisciplinary projects
