Fornaci Calce Grigolin took part in Asphaltica World 2025, taking place from October 29th to 31st in Bari, Italy.

Asphaltica World is one of the most important exhibitions in Europe for the road construction sector. It brings together key players in road paving, construction materials, safety, digitalisation, and sustainability. With its strong focus on innovation, materials experimentation, and cutting-edge technologies, it offers an ideal platform to explore themes that are highly relevant to the PRIM-ROCK project.

As part of the event, Fornaci Calce Grigolin was actively involved by organising a dedicated workshop. This participation reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability in the field of construction materials, in line with its activities in the PRIM-ROCK project.

Prof. Rytis Skominas delivered a keynote speech at the 11th International Conference on Materials Science & Smart Materials (MSSM 2025), held in Austria from 2–5 September 2025. In his presentation, “Climate Change Impact on the Durability of Concrete,” special attention was given to energy efficiency in cement production. Solutions to improve energy efficiency will be assessed within the PRIM-ROCK project.

STAM is proud to sponsor IAS‑19—the 19th International Conference on Intelligent Autonomous Systems—taking place in Genoa from June 30 to July 4. This event will bring together researchers and experts from around the world to discuss key topics in artificial intelligence and autonomous robotics.

This year’s theme, “Ethical, Responsible and Inclusive Robotics,” perfectly aligns with PRIM-ROCK’s ambition to bring intelligence and autonomy into extractive industrial processes. In particular, PRIM-ROCK leverages AI‑driven decision support and digital twin to optimize resource use and improve efficiency in calcination and roasting. Improving resource efficiency is not only a technical goal but also an ethical commitment, as it helps reduce waste, conserve finite materials, and protect the environment for future generations.

IAS-19’s international stage offers a unique opportunity to disseminate PRIM-ROCK’s vision, engage with the academic community, and explore the state of the art in technologies that are key to the project’s success.
