The GENOVATE Community is a platform which enables GENOVATE partners to share institutional information and case studies, and facilitates the coordination of a buddy system for bench learning.
The GENOVATE Community consist of seven GENOVATE partner institutions; the GENOVATE International Advisory Board; key strategic collaborators and stakeholders and the general public. It is a mechanism designed to facilitate meaningful knowledge exchange across the community at local, national and international levels within each of the partner institutions’ countries, across Europe and globally.
Dr. Antonella Liccardo attended a training course provided by the CINECA, the Italian computing centre that develops technical tools for treating the large amounts of data of the Italian Universities, in order to entry and manage the database that collects the UNINA data.
The support of the 10 GECATs established in UNINA (in the Departments of Architecture, Biology, Physics, Ingeneering, Mathematics, Public Health, Chemistry, Geology, Economics, Social Sciences) has been important in several occasions during the last months. In particular, during the last weeks we asked their help in involving young researchers for the public event Futuro Remoto 2015, to be held on the 15-18 of October in Naples. In fact, GENOVATE will participate in this event, both presenting the activity of the GENOVATE team for the implementation of the UNINA GEAP and helping the young women of our institution in describing their scientific research. Several GECATs came to the aid of the GENOVATE team indicating the names of valuable researchers, which will participate in the event.
