LIFE10 ENV/IT/000407 QUADMAP (Quiet areas definition and management in action plans)
Duration: september 2011 – june 2015
Leader: UNIFI-DIEF
Partner: BRUITPARIF, DCMR Environmental
Protection Agency, Ayuntamiento de Bilbao,
Tecnalia, VIE EN.RO.SE Ingegneria Srl, Comune di Firenze
Goal: to develop a harmonised methodology for the selection, quantitative and qualitative assessment and management of Urban Quiet Areas defined by the European Directive on Environmental Noise 2002/49/EC. Data collection and analysis was carried out in 10 pilot areas located in Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain. The introduction of a harmonised approach will also lead to a new monitoring tool, which will make it possible to monitor the management of the Quiet Areas on the basis of common indicators.
LIFE15 ENV/IT/000586 LIFE MONZA (Methodologies fOr Noise low emission Zones introduction And management)
Duration: september 2016 – june 2020
Leader: ISPRA
Partner: UNIFI - DIEF, COMUNE DI MONZA, VIE EN.RO.SE Ingegneria Srl
Goal: develop a new methodology for noise management within a Low Emission Zone (LEZ) that will be applied in a pilot area in the city of Monza in Italy. The methodology will be easily replicable and will contribute to the implementation of the EU Environmental Noise Directive (END), which requires the development of noise management plans. In fact, the Directive does not provide a definition of LEZ in relation to noise pollution.

Duration: 2020 - 2022
Leader: UNIFI – DIEF
Partner: AOU Careggi, Meyer, Senese – Regional Healthcare System Organization, Fondazione Toscana Gabriele Monasterio
Goal: The main objective of the PRECISE project is to research, innovate, integrate and validate existing and novel 3D technologies in a new objective unified framework for enabling in the current oncological clinical practice, patient-specific methods and tools for the training, the simulation, the intervention and the follow-up of personalized surgical approaches.
AACPG – Analysis, automation and certification of the galvanic process using ICT technologies – POR FAS 2007 - 2013
Duration: 2018-2019
Partner: UNIFI – DIEF, UNIFI – DINFO, TOP FINISH, TEMERA
Goal: Overcome existing limits of the galvanic process: lack of certification of galvanic processes, robustness and repeatability of finish treatment, tracking of the process and quality assessment.
LIFE08 ENV/IT/000386 HUSH (Harmonization of Urban noise reduction Strategies for Homogeneous action plans) definition and management in action plans)
Durata: gennaio 2010 – giugno 2013
Leader: Comune di Firenze
Partner: UNIFI-DIEF, ISPRA, ARPAT, VIE EN.RO.SE Ingegneria Srl
Goal: harmonise national noise management standards with the European Environmental Noise Directive 49/2002 in order to achieve uniform noise action plans. This in turn will contribute to the transposition, implementation and enforcement of common or harmonised environmental legislation in EU countries.
ERASMUS + NOISE TRAINING PROJECT TR01-KA202-046790
Duration: 2017 –2019
Leader: PMEU (Turkey)
Partner: UNIFI-DIEF, VIE EN.RO.SE Ingegneria Srl, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid
