May 2025 – mid-term checks and first BRIDGITISE Training school
On 8-9 May 2025, we underwent a mid-term check by the European officer to assess the progress and implementation of the project. Overall, we received very positive feedback, which motivates us to continue improving the project for the benefit of European bridge management. Furthermore, the first BRIDGITISE Training School took place from 12–16 May 2025 at the University of Twente, bringing together PhD candidates, top academics, and industry professionals for a focused week of learning, hands-on work, and team-building. Find out more about the mid-term checks and the Training School.
November 2024 – Highlights from the Consortium meeting in Bari
The second BRIDGITISE Consortium Meeting was held on November 14 -15, 2024, in Bari, Italy, and was organized by Politecnico di Bari.
This meeting brought together DCs and project partners to discuss progress and future directions for BRIDGITISE.
Members of the External Advisory Board, including Prof. JesĂşs RodrĂguez Santiago (Universidad PolitĂ©cnica de Madrid), Dr. Marianna Loli (Grid Engineers), and Prof. Helmut Wenzel (Wenzel Consult), participated in the discussions, contributing valuable insights to the project’s development.
January 2024 – Bridgitise Kick off
The kickoff meeting of the BRIDGITISE project was held on January 24th and 25th, with Professor Maria Pina Limongelli serving as the Project Coordinator.
The meeting kicked off the project in style! All the partners gathered around the table for some fruitful brainstorming.
“The bridge integrity management sector lags in digitalization compared to other industries. To fill this gap, academia and industry must collaborate closely, with a focus on needs-driven research and knowledge transfer” said the Coordinator.
BRIDGITISE will take up these challenges, proposing a new paradigm for the first Industrial Doctoral Network within the EU that will pave the way to the training of new generations of researchers and professionals with expertise in digital BrIM.
But hey, it wasn’t all business! the kick-off meeting was also a chance for the partners to get to know each other better and have a blast in beautiful Milan!
