A collection of case histories of successful collaborations between High Technology Network Laboratories and businesses. These are tangible and customisable examples of the application of new technologies, products, or services that show how industrial research can meet the needs of innovation.
Energy systems are undergoing a transition towards new planning and management models in which energy networks (heat, electricity, gas, transports, etc.) will be integrated with each other to maximise possible synergies (Smart Energy Systems).

MATER_SOS are sustainable building materials with low environmental impact to be used throughout the entire supply chain. They have been obtained by innovating formulations of traditional building materials, achieving important results with regard to...
IPERCER has made it possible to develop a series of innovative tools for the ceramic tile industry, especially for the production of large porcelain stoneware slabs. The main phases of the production process have been analyzed to fully understand the...
The Green ceramic tiles made by 70% at least - and till 99% - of urban and industrial scraps. The production of these tiles contributes to the sustainable management of waste. The recovery of industrial scraps and materials such as packaging glass...
To contribute to identify the most effective choices towards a sustainable waste management, the MatER Study Center provides technical and scientific consultancy based on a thorough survey of the technologies and policies adopted for recovering...
The technical and economic assessment of plants producing electrical and/or thermal energy from renewable sources (biomass, wind, photovoltaic, hydroelectric) is essential to design the plant itself and monitor its performance. The system's...
Due to the proximity to emissions from vehicular traffic, recognised as the main source of fine and ultra-fine particulate in urban areas, individuals moving on foot or with other means of transport in a town are potentially exposed to high...
On site surveys to assess emissions from combustion processes in stationary plants (small thermal power plants for building heating fuelled by wood, pellet, oil and gas and industrial plants for WTE incineration of waste), ultrafine particulate...
