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!
