  • General Information
    December 2019 General information Welcome to Switzerland! Switzerland is located in the heart of Europe, sharing borders with Germany, France, Italy, Austria and the Principality of Liechtenstein. Its central location places it at the crossroads of several cultures, with the Alps a natural gateway between northern and southern Europe. The Swiss federal state was founded on the will of its cantons to form a peaceful union. It is therefore a nation of multiple cultures, as expressed in its four official languages – German, French, Italian and Romansh. Italian is spoken in the southern part of the country – where you'll find Lugano, the venue for our meeting. Lugano is a city in Ticino, a canton that combines a Mediterranean atmosphere with dazzling alpine scenery. We are delighted to welcome you here. For more information about Switzerland: The Swiss Confederation – a brief guide 1.

L'efficienza di questo tipo di sistemi è al momento poco conosciuta e troppo spesso stimata in modo approssimativo; dati e analisi applicate ad un caso reale possono quindi fornire interessanti indicazioni ai progettisti da un lato, ma anche a coloro che definiscono le strategie e le politiche energetiche. Inoltre, il ritorno di esperienza e la quantificazione del potenziale di raffrescamento a pavimento permette di apprendere aspetti e limiti essenziali per la corretta progettazione di impianti analoghi.

  • TEDD Cell Therapy and Tissue
    TEDD WORKSHOP Cell Therapy and Tissue Engineering in Ticino March 10th, 2016 In the last decade, the growth of the biotech sector in the Italian-speaking Switzerland has become in- creasingly important for the economy of the region and for the surrounding scientific environment, soon to be empowered by a new Faculty of Biomedical Sciences at the local Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI). Moreover, Regenerative Medicine research is being carried out at SIRM, a new research facility located in Taverne and shared by different companies and research institutions. In order to discover and have a deeper look on the evolving scientific and industrial framework of Ticino Canton, the next TEDD event will be held in Lugano, hosted by Cardiocentro Ticino and the Swiss Institute for Regenerative Me- dicine. During the event, speakers from the academic, clinical, and industrial sector of the region will pre- sent their activities and will discuss the ways in which they can connect and collaborate with other par- tners.
