UNPRECEDENTED: Industrial Dialogues

ERCI Conference on Mobility and COVID-19

The Science counterattacks

COVID-19 has changed the way of using public transportation. Operators must apply new protocols (not defined so far) to generate confidence in the population. What tools do we currently have?

The European Railway Clusters Initiative (ERCI) Conference on Mobility and COVID-19: The Science Counterattacks will address this extremely topic issue from different perspectives coming from the Academic World.

The Conference will cover a wide variety of approaches: sensor systems to control simultaneously temperature and social distancing, electrochemical sensors to detect the level of viral load, rapid diagnostic nanosensor platforms against pandemics, simulation technologies to minimize the risk of contagion caused by air stream flows in stations and public transport vehicles. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from the best Scholars, united against COVID-19. The science counterattacks!

UNPRECEDENTED Webinar Series was born as a transversal proposal to the challenges of Circular economy, Digitalization and Technology transfer.

Together we have prepared a series of meetings online, under the name of Industrial Dialogues, how the industry can cope with the challenges considered by the situation of the "New normal".
