An international research hub
The Research Centre is named "Salazzurra” in honour of the historic 1950s dance hall in which it is housed within Idroscalo Park. Industry and research meet here; the distinctive features that take shape and are realised here are innovation and scientific research combined with environmental sustainability.
Salazzurra is a research hub focusing on new technologies related to water and the environment, where researchers work and share their knowledge with citizens and students: an open innovation space where the best start-ups engaged in the development of circular economy grow and an incubation factory where new forms of collaboration between public and private entities are experimented with.
Salazzurra is an international research hub. Circular economy, water resources and environment, chemistry and biochemistry, microbiology, environmental and hydraulic engineering, sociology and water sector policy: these are just some of the study areas within the centre, where scholars from all countries can meet, discuss, disseminate their projects and meet citizens.
