Eight episodes telling the story of research as it takes shape, engages with the territory, and becomes concrete innovation.
This idea has inspired the new video-podcast series “Incontri con il futuro – Storie di innovazione dall’ecosistema RAISE”, created in collaboration with the media outlet Rinnovabili.
The series, available on Spotify and YouTube, offers a journey through eight thematic episodes lasting about twelve minutes each. Every episode brings listeners inside a project through the voices of the researchers, innovators, and professionals who have contributed to its development. The result provides a close look at research processes, the ideas that drive them, and the impact they generate for people and communities.
The series has grown from the encounter between the editorial experience of Rinnovabili and the scientific and technological network of RAISE, which has promoted the initiative with the goal of sharing the results, visions, and perspectives of a broad and multidisciplinary research community. The video-podcast format creates an agile and accessible storytelling space, capable of conveying the complexity of research projects through stories, experiences, and real-world applications.
Throughout the episodes, members of the ecosystem describe the path that leads from new knowledge to the development of technological solutions designed to address contemporary challenges. Robotics, artificial intelligence, and digital systems emerge as tools that interact with many different fields: from health to mobility, from urban innovation to environmental sustainability, and from industrial transformation to new services.
Each episode explores a specific theme and highlights the work carried out within the different research programs. These stories reveal the value of collaboration that connects universities, research centers, companies, and public institutions within a shared innovation ecosystem. This cooperation generates projects that translate scientific results into practical applications for society, contributing to people’s well-being, the quality of urban life, and the competitiveness of the productive system.
The narrative also follows the experimentation that accompanies these projects: laboratory work, technological demonstrators, field testing, and collaboration with local communities and public administrations. Through these experiences, research engages with real contexts and opens new opportunities for territorial development.
The series therefore offers a journey across ideas, technologies, and visions of the future. The voices of researchers provide a direct perspective on how a scientific project develops, which questions guide it, and which new possibilities emerge from its results.
With “Incontri con il futuro – Storie di innovazione dall’ecosistema RAISE”, audiences can explore the work of a scientific community that looks to the future with a collaborative spirit and a strong sense of social responsibility. Episode after episode, the video-podcast highlights the value of an ecosystem that places research at the service of people, territories, and the transformations shaping our time.
