Research and Development

Project 1

Description

“Integrated, Intelligent, Collaborative, Multidisciplinary Design in the Aeronautical Value Network: Toward a Federated Laboratory on i –Design”.

Aim

Support for the competitiveness of the aerospace industry in the new market scenarios. Focal points are transformation models of the most important processes linked to the development of new products, which envisage tests of integrated design solutions. The aim of the project is to attract international players for the development of design technology platforms.

Project 2

Description

Development of innovative, digital and organisational technologies and processes, with which the growth of the aerospace industry in Apulia is supported.

Aim

The aim of this project is the implementation of the results from basic and industrial research in the aerospace branch. Start-ups are supported, which offer innovative services with a high added value and which are intergrated into the Supply Chain in the area of ICT applications.

Project 3

Description

Innovative technologies for the enhancement of composite materials with duroplastic polymermatrix

Aim

The project envisages the developmewnt of new nanoparticles, with which enhanced composite materials made from resin and fibre-glass for the aerospace industry should be manufactured. The aim is to optimise thermal conductivity, mechanical characteristics (weight and elasticity), water resistance and optical characteristics such as radar and infrared transparency.

Project 4

Description

Epitactic Substrates for GaN-HEMT Technologies [Gallium Nitride (GaN) High Electron-Mobility Transistor (HEMT)]

Aim

The most important aim is the build-up of national, application-oriented competence in this field. The growth and the characterisation of AlGan/GaNis heterostrcutucres on semi-insualting SIC structures are to be supported, the characteristics of which permit the produciton of rapid electronic components and of correspondingly intregrated circuits (MMIC) using GaN technology.

Project 5

Description

Development of optical devices from photochromatic nano-synthetic material.

Aim

The aim is the development of fully synthetic OLED equipment with improved mean lifetime, performance and mechanical adaptation, which can repace the current automotive lighting systems (rear lights, brake lights and interior lighting etc.). The technological aim is a red OLED matrix with differing sizes and shapes depending on the pixel count, a light intensity of over 10000 cd/m² and an average life of over 10 000 hours.

Project 6

Description

Models and processes of digital and organisational innovation applied to the development of SME networks

Aim

The research project aims at the application of the scieintifc, technological and industrial expertise in the e-business management sector and intelligent management of Dhitech including 'socal computing' inspired by the new Web-2 technologies. A test project is to be developed, which is to promote the foundation of start-ups, which offer innovative, added-value-oriented services.

Project 7

Description

Networked European Software and Service Initiative (NESSI) – ITALY.

Aim

The technology district DHITECH wishes to advertise as a partner the Nessi Europa platform in conjunciton with its Italian members for this platform in Italy. The aim of the programme is, analogous to similalr progammes in other EU countries, the networking of activities in basic research and the applied research fields, with which the implementation possibilities for European research results in important segments such as e-government, e-health und e-learning are optimised.

Project 8

Description

Nanotechnologies for diagnostics in the areas Bio, biomedicine and foods

Aim

The possiblities are investigated for the development of synthetic sensors and devices for chemical and bilogicial diagnostics. The NNL laboratory researches a series of new technologies including the immobilisation of biomolecules on a chip, the protein and enzyme lithography and the piezoelectric microactors for the movement of small amounts of liquid. The aim is the development of equipment suitable for diagnostics and EDP. In the first instance this is basic research, which constitutes a key technology for future developments in the fields of electronics and sensorics.

Project 9

Description

Laboratory for Tssue Engineering in the field of regenerative medicine.

Aim

Strengthening of the national tissue engineering network by the foundation of a laboratory for tissue engineering of complex biohybride tissues such as bones, cartilage and nerves, which are combimed with new bioactive materials such as cells and in vivo- clincial applications.

Project 10

Description

Excellence Incubator for the formation of intellectual capital in the Euro-Mediterranean Area.

Aim

The DHITECH technology district, the aim of which is the strengthening of Apulia in European cooperation processesn in the Euro-Mediterranean Area, intends to make its research projects usable as a source for the formation of intellectual capital by founding an excellence incubator. The incubator generates:

· Human capital: promotion of young talents in the Euro-Mediterranean Area by particpation in research projects of the district (Action Learning);

· Social capital: promotion of the cooperation between researchers, students, pupils, companies, institutions and research authorities in the Euro-Mediterranean Area.

· Structural capital in the form of patents, start-ups, spin-offs and innovative model projects.

The excellence incubator for intellectual capital in the Euro-Mediterranean Area should upvalue the contributions of the district members. The Scuola Mediterranea di Studi Avanzati in Intelligent Management founded in Morocco, Jordan and Tunisia by the Scuola Superiore ISUFI, University of Salento (advanced school for intelligent management in the Mediterranean Area) constitutes jointly with the tasks and interests of the participating members the core of the project.
