Next thursday to Rome will hold an event in order to celebrate 70° anniversary of the National Association of Naval Technique (ATHENA) and the 90° anniversary of INSEAN. The day, than will be carried out near the center of the INSEAN, will be subdivided in two moments: in the morning a series of institutional participations will take place, with participations of the Ministry of Infrastructures and Transports and the Ministry of the Atmosphere, Marina Militare Italiana, the General Command of the Harbour offices and Confitarma, and will be introduced the celebrativo book of ATHENA by Bruno Della Loggia, Gianfranco Damilano and Claudio Boccalatte; in the afternoon the visit to the systems of the tank of the INSEAN will be organized to which it will follow a short afternoon session
which they have remarkablly influenced never as previously the industry of the shipping.
ATHENA is constituted to Genoa in 1947 for initiative of a group of Italian naval engineers, as continuation of the College of the Naval and Mechanical Engineers, with a wider program as organism in order to diffuse the culture, to update the technical information and to debate inherent problems every form of naval and marine activity, assuming the denomination of College of the Naval and Mechanical Engineers - Italian Association of Naval Technology. In February 1948 the first national convention of naval technique held collecting since quickly between the row of the new association numerous operating of national the marine world: engineers, teacher, investigators, shipowners, insurers. From then its associates, today about 700 and you anticipate on all the national territory in 12 he dissect territorial and two thematic groups, gives competent professional contributions in the field of the planning, the construction and the management of the ships, with particular attention to safety of the transports and the prevention of the marine atmosphere.
Founded in 1927, the INSEAN - Istituto Nazionale for Studies and Experiences of Naval Architecture - takes part from 2011 of the Department of Engineering, INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY and Technologies for the Energies and the Transports of the National Research Council (CNR). In the within of the system it searches public, INSEAN in general terms carries out an intense activity of fundamental search in the fields of the fluid dynamics and in the specific fields of the idroelasticità, the acoustics and the vibrations. Such activities have fallen back and applications in various fields of the marine technologies, which safety, energy efficiency and the environmental sustainability of marine means of transport, let alone the study and the development of means for the extraction of renewable energies from sea and wind. The acquaintances of the methods of investigation, numerical and experimental, and of the characteristic technologies of the naval field and the marinocostiero atmosphere, find important then find application also in other fields which that aeronautical and aerospace one. In such withins the INSEAN has developed to important collaborations with Italian and foreign agencies and university and is involved in numerous research projects financed from national and international organisms. The search activity, developed the scientific and technological competences, the numerical and experimental methods of investigation of vanguard, the experimental infrastructures on hand, makes of the INSEAN a recognized international scientific and technological point of reference in the naval and marine field. Moreover this places the CNR in condition for executing an appreciated technical-scientific advisory activity for industries and ship yards and for carrying out an important national role as "hub" technological for the economy of the sea.
