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).

The method developed allows for the detection of allergenic ingredients in food, through an indirect DNA-based analysis. In particular, we refer to the ingredients listed in Annex III of the EU Directive 1169/2011. The method is based on the...
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...
The ability to study protein and starch component digestibility is essential in nutritional assessment of baby food products. In this connection, it is necessary to have a digestive model that simulates the weaning baby's digestive steps in the most...
The hygienic design process takes into account the need to assure foodstuff's safety and suitability, starting from machinery design. This takes place by complying with a series of requirements, known as hygiene criteria in designing, as well as in...
