Tuscany Health Ecosystem

The project is part of the initiative: Innovation Ecosystems
Scientific Coordinator: Gizzi Leonida Antonio
Project description: ”THE – Tuscany Health Ecosystem” is an aggregation of scientific, technological skills and research infrastructures in the Life Sciences sector. It was born from a project proposal presented by the University of Florence, in coherence with one of the strategic lines of the Tuscany Region relating to life sciences. The project has a strong territorial vocation, the starting point is the Smart SST specialization strategy of the Tuscany Region.

The Project intends to promote and strengthen collaboration between the research system, the production system and local institutions. THE goal is to develop innovative solutions to transform them into products or commercial activities.

The Project also envisages that the TRL (technological maturity level) reaches an extremely high level, based primarily on the identification of needs that are not satisfied: prevention, diagnostics, treatment, production, quality, management issues.

THE challenge is to make Tuscany the “health region”, pushing research towards applications and companies to grow technologies dedicated to health and well-being. From an operational point of view, the ecosystem dedicates part of the financing to the provision, on the basis of specific public tenders, of funds for Industrial Research, Experimental Development and Feasibility Studies.

Total financing: 110,000,000 euros

Partners: 22 public and private entities

CNR role: Leader Spoke 1, Affiliate Spoke 3,4,5,8

Duration: from 1 December 2022 to 31 December 2025

Speech by: FRANCESCO CATALIOTTI (CNR NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF OPTICS), QUENTIN DEPLANO (RESEARCHER IN PHYSICS UNIV FLORENCE) on the second NQSTI meeting
ABSTRACT: A new tool explores the boundary between classical and quantum physics thanks to a collaboration between the University of Florence and CNR. It is an optical trap that observes phenomena typical of both physics. In 2025, the importance of quantum science will be celebrated. see the interview

UNESCO Launches International Year of Quantum Science with Innovative Showcase by NQSTI
Paris, 5 February 2025 — UNESCO kicked off the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) with a vibrant Opening Ceremony held at its headquarters in Paris. Among the highlights of the two-day celebration was an engaging exhibition by the National Quantum Science and Technology Institute (NQSTI), featuring the dynamic QTRIS project and an interactive virtual quantum laboratory.
The display captivated attendees and demonstrated the exciting possibilities at the intersection of quantum research, art, and culture. UNESCO extended its heartfelt appreciation to NQSTI, commending the team’s creativity and vision. Among the standout contributors was Diana Tartaglia of CNR-INO, whose expertise and dedication played a key role in the success of the exhibition. see more
