“AAMI Accelerating AAM Research with Sapienza University”

The Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Insti­tute (AAMI) and the Depart­ment of Mechan­i­cal and Aero­space Engi­neer­ing (DIMA) at Rome’s Sapien­za Uni­ver­si­ty, have signed a Mem­o­ran­dum of Under­stand­ing (MOU), to advance inno­va­tion and research in air mobil­i­ty.

The col­lab­o­ra­tion is “to focus on devel­op­ing inno­v­a­tive solu­tions for inte­grat­ing advanced avi­a­tion tech­nolo­gies, with an empha­sis on risk man­age­ment, resilience, and oper­a­tional effi­cien­cy,” explains the release. “By unit­ing their strengths in aero­space engi­neer­ing and air mobil­i­ty sys­tems, the part­ner­ship aims to tack­le emerg­ing chal­lenges in air trans­port through research, knowl­edge exchange, and the devel­op­ment of new method­olo­gies.”

Under the MOU, the insti­tu­tions are to col­lab­o­rate on a vari­ety of ini­tia­tives includ­ing research projects and edu­ca­tion­al oppor­tu­ni­ties. The agree­ment offers Sapienza’s stu­dent body of over 120,000, along with its aca­d­e­m­ic staff, the chance to engage in ground­break­ing research sup­port­ed by the AAM Institute’s data, tools, and exper­tise. 

Pro­fes­sor Ric­car­do Patri­ar­ca, Sci­en­tif­ic Coor­di­na­tor at Sapien­za Uni­ver­si­ty, com­ment­ed, “This part­ner­ship will enable our researchers and stu­dents to engage in trans­for­ma­tive projects and devel­op prac­ti­cal solu­tions for the air mobil­i­ty sec­tor. By fos­ter­ing inno­va­tion and col­lab­o­ra­tion, we aim to train future lead­ers while advanc­ing the bound­aries of what’s pos­si­ble in avi­a­tion.”

The School of Aero­nau­ti­cal Engi­neer­ing at Sapien­za was found­ed in 1926 while the actu­al uni­ver­si­ty was formed in 1303 and is the old­est in Rome and the largest in Europe. 

Dan Sloat, AAM Insti­tute Founder and Pres­i­dent, remarked, “With the largest stu­dent body in Europe and a rich his­to­ry of excel­lence, Sapien­za brings great depth to this col­lab­o­ra­tion. The MOU reflects our shared com­mit­ment to advanc­ing inno­va­tion in air mobil­i­ty while empow­er­ing the next gen­er­a­tion of pro­fes­sion­als.”
