Workshop AI for space, organized by the University of Pisa in collaboration with the Unipi spin-off continualIist on the 15th of April, 2024, from 14:00 to 18:00

The workshop is held at Seminar Room East of Informatics Department (Unipi), Largo B. Pontecorvo, 3.

For more information please refer to the workshop webpage

The workshop is organized by the Master's Degree Programs in Telecommunications Engineering and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Pisa and is open to anyone interested, with particular reference to master's students and young researchers in the field of telecommunications and space sensor technology.
Through numerous poster presentations, COSS aims to explain, in a way that is understandable even to non-experts, the research activities carried out within the two Pisa courses in the field of telecommunications and space sensors, both from the point of view of spacecraft design and its payload.
The workshop is sponsored bythe IEEE AESS Chapter Italy and AIDAA.

The Call for Projects for the Summer Students at Fermilab Program has been published. The call for applications can be found here.

Nei giorni dal 5 al 9 luglio 2022 si è tenuta a Monaco di Baviera la competizione di aeromodellismo Air Cargo Challenge 2022 nella quale il team LeanIng Project ha rappresentato l’Università di Pisa.
Il team ufficiale è composto da studentesse e studenti del corso di laurea triennale e magistrale in Ingegneria Aerospaziale che, nel corso dei due anni del progetto, hanno affrontato sfide tecniche relative alla progettazione e costruzione di un aeromodello.

I membri del team e l’aeromodello sono visibili nella foto

The team's goal, in addition to participating in the competition, is to become a point of reference for Aerospace Engineering students and to give those who wish to do so the opportunity to get involved in the world of design and participate in future editions of this and other competitions.
A report on the main results achieved by the LeanIng Project team is provided in the document below.
