On November 19 (2021), a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between IRPI CNR and the Institute of Earth Exploration and Sensing, Najing University (China), a collaborative project that involves the two Parties for a period of five years, has been signed. The objective of the MoU is to establish a collaborative framework for joint R&D activities in the areas of interest of the two Parties, and specifically for the development of (i) fiber optic sensing technologies for engineering geological and geotechnical problems; (ii) real-time monitoring, early warning, and risk assessment systems for geohazards mitigation; (iii) artificial intelligence technologies in geotechnical and geological engineering.
