“AUTISMO E LAVORO, WHATEVER IT TAKES”: INTERVENTO DI ALBERTO BALESTRAZZI CHE CITA LA RELAZIONE CON L’INAF

Lo scorso 2 Aprile presso Palazzo Madama, si è tenuta la conferenza stampa “Autismo e Lavoro, whatever it takes” su iniziativa del Senatore Maurizio Gasparri, in occasione della Giornata Mondiale per la Consapevolezza dell’Autismo per la proposta di legge sulla “certificazione d’inclusione”. La conferenza ha visto la partecipazione di istituzioni, imprese e lavoratori autistici per promuovere un nuovo modello di inclusione lavorativa. Alberto Balestrazzi, CEO di Auticon Italia che è l’azienda con il più alto numero di lavoratori autistici impiegati al mondo, racconta come il loro lavoro conslenziale nel settore dell’informatica sia a supporto di grande imprese e cita con orgoglio il nuovo appalto di tre progetti intrapreso con

Tech Week Storage 25

In Events, Meetings, News, Prova

24-28th March 2025 Open Source Storage Technologies for the Exabyte Era TechWeekStorage is about open storage ecosystems developed at CERN and used in research and academia, public institutions and by international organisations. TechWeekStorage 25 will be hosted at CERN, bringing a unique opportunity to learn about CERN storage and data management technologies directly from their authors, and to meet the experts and interact with the technical teams.

Storage

INAF provides its users with a storage space that can be accessed according to the methods indicated below: Up to 50 GB – Each INAF user or member has a quota of disk space offered by IA2, using the VOSpace service at the link: http://vospace.ia2.inaf.it/ui/#/nodes/ From 50 GB to 1 TB – Contact the support group directly: ufficio-curadati-usc8@ inaf.it From 1 TB to 20 TB – Apply to periodic calls for compute and storage resources. Requests exceeding 20 TB will be evaluated by USC VIII in light of their compatibility with the organization’s storage capacity development plans and their financial sustainability and that requests for

Computing

INAF offers access to HPC, HTC or Cloud computing systems. In particular: Link to active calls and past call archive Italiano nel seguito INAF offre l’accesso a sistemi di calcolo di tipo HPC, HTC o Cloud. In particolare: Link alle call attive e archivio call passate

Training

Growing the expertise of the INAF community in all reference sectors, it is a priority objective to ensure that the members of the organisation, and in particular the younger ones, have in their hands, in the coming years, the “tool manual” to make the best use of what the technological development will make it almost indispensable to remain at the forefront of astrophysics research.

Requests for funds

USC VIII can give financial support to events related to the activities under the jurisdiction of USC VIII (schools, courses, seminars, etc.), organized by INAF personnel and/or personnel associated with INAF. Requests can be made at any time using the link https://forms.gle/jMbceGveHoeGfn9LA and they will be evaluated within one month of the request. These requests can be formulated in parallel with those (relating to more general topics and typically requested at the beginning of each calendar year) submitted to the INAF Scientific Directorate, but double funding will not be possible.

Sector 1 – Critical computing

The Critical Computing implementation sector concerns the computational aspects linked to HPC, HTC, Big Data themes; it proposes and organizes activities in general projects, in order to offer infrastructure, innovative implementations and create skills for the challenges of the near future, in the most important projects of our institution. The sector is divided into 2 main axes: Axis 1: PNRR: Centro Nazionale HPC – National Center HPC, Bigdata and Quantum Computing It involves the majority of the Structures of INAF. In particular: It promotes the training of the new class of technologists and researchers in the field of HPC computing, towards Exascale, and Big Data

Sector 2 – Data curation

The areas within which Sector 2 «Data Care» will operate will mainly be the archiving, care, preservation and usability of astronomical data and products of astrophysics science, in synergy with the computational, services and development part. For any further question please feel free to contact us at supporto-curadati-usc8 @ inaf.it INAF Archives Data Repositories Open Data & FAIR Interoperability

Sector 3 – R&D synergies

The goal of the Research and Development sector is to create an environment where teams within Researchers and Technologists at INAF can easily connect if they’re tackling similar problems. One way to achieve this is by facilitating the formation of distributed working groups, these groups would be all about sharing ideas and finding solutions together. Furthermore, our objective is to tap into the wealth of expertise in scientific computing within INAF by highlighting the wide range of skills and projects undertaken by different groups and RIC/TECs within the organization. By making these entities and their work more visible across various fields, we aim to raise

Sector 4 – Informatic services

The Sector 4 deals with the maintenance of the Common Software and the organization of the support group at the individual site level. This Sector also has the responsibility of providing relations with the GARR in the context of expanding the network with new connections, strengthening existing ones and good governance of the services made available by the GARR. Section 4 also offers the possibility of accessing Cloud Computing Resources through over-the-counter requests that can be made at any time (more information on the Cloud Computing page). Sector 4 services and groups are listed (with their relevant links) below. Italiano Il settore 4 si occupa
