LABUST has taken part in many scientific research projects relating to underwater systems and technologies in various roles. This includes numerous international (FP7, H2020, ONRG, INTERREG,...) as well as national projects.
As part of the UWIN-LABUST project, the Laboratory for Underwater Systems and Technologies in collaboration with the IEEE Croatia Section - Robotics and Automation Chapter, the IEEE OES University of Zagreb Student Branch Chapter and IEEE Life Member Affinity Group - Croatia is happy to invite you to the lecture
"Communicating and raising awareness about Underwater Natural and Cultural Heritage"
held by assoc. prof. dr. Fabio Bruno, Department of Mechanical, Energetics and Management Engineering (DIMEG), University of Calabria (UNICAL), Arcavacata di Rende, Italy. The lecture will take place on Tuesday June 27th, 2023 at 10:00 in the Grey Hall at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER). The lecture is in English and is open to all interested participants.
The lecturer’s CV and the summary of the lecture can be found below.
Abstract:
The talk will focus on novel approaches and technologies addressed to create user experiences focused on the communication and dissemination of Underwater Natural and Cultural Heritage. The primary goal of these experiences is to raise the public awareness about the need to preserve our oceans and the related cultural assets for the future generations. In particular, the results and the progresses of some recent research conducted at University of Calabria and 3D Research will be presented.
