From 3 to 5 October, the Circular Rainbow project took part in the Collega-menti Festival in Udine, presenting an interactive installation dedicated to innovation in the aquaculture sector. In the exhibition space set up in the former Church of San Francesco, the University of Udine team showcased how digitalisation and IoT technologies can enhance the efficiency and sustainability of aquaculture systems.
Public participation was excellent: nearly 100 visitors stopped by the stand to explore the 3D model of the RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System), monitoring tools, and a live camera connected to the experimental facilities.
The engaging experience demonstrated how sensors and automation can improve fish welfare and water recirculation management, bringing the principles of the circular economy into aquaculture.
The activity was coordinated by Gloriana Cardinaletti, with contributions from Diego Capraro, Alessandro Chiumenti, Giovanni Cortella, Margherita Cuzzit, Enrico Daniso, Michele Libralato, Davide Paolin, Giulia Pascon, and Francesca Tulli.
