Alta Scuola Politecnica Challenge
2022
Through the F.U.S.S. (floating units for seasteafing) project, a team from the Alta Scuola Politecnica (ASP), representatives of academic excellence from the Polytechnic University of Turin and Milan, actively collaborated with the MOREnergyLab. The challenge they faced was to develop a project dedicated to a floating city, implementing the SEAform technology.
Team members: Agata Bandini, Marta di Castri, Sara Leoni, Edoardo Lo Vecchio, Ludovica Gaia Mariella, Ilaria Turtula, Benedetta Zuccarelli.
