Tema centrale dell’edizione 2017 sono i dati nella ricerca: un bene prezioso che sempre di più costituisce il vero valore del lavoro scientifico e che, nelle varie sfaccettature e declinazioni, è presente in tutte le discipline con requisiti comuni, peculiarità proprie e necessità emergenti.

Dai Big Data agli open data, dalla condivisione alla conservazione, dai servizi di elaborazione di grandi moli di dati all’Internet of Things: sono tanti gli argomenti affrontati nel corso della tre giorni su innovazione e collaborazione al servizio della ricerca.

Si invitano contributi che abbiano un particolare riferimento a:

• Uso di infrastrutture di rete e servizi per la gestione, condivisione, archiviazione di dati;
• Metodologie e politiche di gestione dati replicabili in ambito multidisciplinare;
• Interoperabilità dei dati e modalità di autenticazione e accesso ai dati.

Under the theme “Connecting the building blocks for Open Science”, the 2017 edition of the DI4R conference will showcase the policies, processes, best practices, data and services that, leveraging today’s initiatives – national, regional, European and international – are the building blocks of the European Open Science Cloud and European Data Infrastructure. The overarching goal is to demonstrate how open science, higher education and innovators can benefit from these building blocks, and ultimately to advance integration and cooperation between initiatives.

The event is collocated with the EOSCpilot 1st Stakeholder Engagement Event taking place on the 28 & 29 November 2017.

The EWGT was founded in July 1991 in Cetraro (Italy) during the 7th Euro Summer Institute on Urban Traffic Management. This name was changed during the EURO Conference in Glasgow in July 1994 to Transportation, in order to extend the topics addressed and to involve more people in participation.

EWGT main targets concern providing a forum to share research information and experience, encouraging joint research and the development of both theoretical methods and applications, and promoting cooperation among the many institutions and organisations which are leaders at the national level in the field of transportation, traffic and logistics.

CNR-IBIMET (now CNR-IBE) contributed with the paper: “An integrated low-cost road traffic and air pollution monitoring platform to assess vehicles’ air quality impact in urban areas”

Workshop overview and objectives

According to the Guiding Principles for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable Data – so-called FAIR principles – launched by the Data FAIRport initiative and recently adopted by the European Commission Guidelines on FAIR Data Management in Horizon 2020 the aim of this workshop is to bring new lymph to the political, legal, technical and technological debate around re-use and reproducibility of research data in Italy.

Starting from requirements and concrete experiences of research infrastructures and relying on the results and ongoing activities of specific RDA Working and Interest Groups, this workshop will call to action the coordinators of research infrastructures, individual researchers, funding agencies, research institutions, data scientists, data librarians/curators and computing scientists to identify which of the FAIR guidelines can be effectively supported by the current technology, which national policies are supporting their implementation and what are the challenges still open towards a concrete implementation of the FAIR principles in Italy.

RDA relevance & expected outcomes

Among the solutions for implementing FAIR data management, a key role will be covered by those developed by RDA Working and Interest Groups dealing with data reproducibility, metadata standards, data foundation and implementation of DMP in real scientific scenarios. In particular, the activities performed and the results achieved so far by the following WGs and IGs will be presented, thanks to the active participation of their representatives:

• Data Citation WG
• Metadata Standards Directory WG
• Education and Training on handling of research data IG
• Reproducibility IG
• Structural Biology IG
• Libraries for Research Data IG

The expected outcomes of this event will be a primarily increased awareness among researchers and stakeholders of major Italian Universities on the different aspects that characterise FAIR data management and on the solutions developed in the RDA and in other national and international contexts that can be exploited, either by every single institution or through a coordinated effort, to implement it.

Workshop structure

Two day-workshop with national (Italian) and international speakers. Ample space will be dedicated to panel discussions and active participation from the audience. The workshop will be held in English and Italian

Target Audience

The workshop is dedicated to an Italian audience of researchers, heads of research infrastructures and of computing infrastructures, pro-rectors for research, university research and open access departments, repository managers, and librarians experts in metadata and data curation who are not yet part of RDA community. Italian policymakers will also be a target of this workshop.

La telecamera di rilevamento dei flussi di traffico non memorizza né trasmette alcuna immagine che viene trattenuta nella memoria del dispositivo per il tempo strettamente necessario all’analisi e quindi, subito dopo eliminata.

Questa indagine è parte di una attività di Citizen Science – termine inglese che indica una metodologia di partecipazione attiva dei cittadini alla ricerca – ed è propedeutica sia allo sviluppo di progetti di monitoraggio ambientale urbano sia alla raccolta di suggerimenti da parte dei cittadini per migliorare la ricerca e la conoscenza.

Si ricorda che la compilazione del questionario è assolutamente anonima e richiederà circa 10 minuti.

SensorWeb Hub supported the development of the first prototype of the Mobile Urban Network (RUM) in the Florence metropolitan area—a meteorological monitoring system based on low-cost sensors connected to Arduino open-source platforms, and mounted on mobile units (public transport vehicles on wheels and rails). The goal: monitor key meteorological and environmental variables across the city in real time.

Between 2012 and 2015, over 1,180,000 data points were collected from six mobile stations. Although the analysis is still ongoing, the data gathered show a strong correlation with measurements from nearby fixed weather stations—particularly regarding temperature and humidity. This confirms the accuracy and reliability of the low-cost sensors, demonstrating that even economically accessible tools can provide robust data coverage across urban environments.

The main aim of the CSUM is the dissemination of knowledge and the exchange of good practices among researchers and practitioners in the domain of urban transportation.

The 1^st CSUM was organized in Volos on 14 December 2012 with the main focus on the green modes of transport. The 2^nd CSUM was also organized in Volos on 5 – 6 May 2014, emphasizing on Public Transport and the use of ITS applications in urban mobility.

The Ecovino project, funded by GAL Castelli Romani e Monti Prenestini, is the result of a collaboration between the Antiche Terre Tuscolane Cooperative—producer of Frascati DOCG wine—and leading research institutions including the Department of Agricultural, Forestry, Nature and Energy Sciences and Technologies (DAFNE) at the University of Tuscia, IBIMET – CNR, and METEOTEC.

In response to the fragmented structure of local vineyards—often divided into small plots with distinct microclimates—the project aims to provide detailed, location-specific information to help winegrowers:

• Optimize vineyard management practices

• Combat the European grapevine moth (Lobesia botrana)

• Manage grape ripening based on evolving climate conditions

At the heart of Ecovino is a smart digital platform that integrates local weather data, vine phenology, and pest development models. Through this system, growers receive SMS and email alerts indicating the best times for field interventions. The goal? A more efficient and environmentally conscious use of plant protection treatments.
