Danieli Group, a global leader in the production and installation of innovative machinery and plants for the steel industry, is once again committed to the “Fabbricando” project this year. In its twelfth edition, this national competition aims to facilitate student orientation by promoting integration between schools and businesses, especially in the context of new digital and automation technologies.
Empowering tomorrow: Danieli Group’s “Fabbricando” project
The connection between schools and companies is a key element in preparing students for the professional world, simultaneously providing a significant boost to the companies themselves. Danieli Group, a leading global industrial machinery manufacturer, is steadfast in its commitment to projects with schools and universities to nurture talent. One such initiative is the “Fabbricando” project, now in its twelfth edition, offering support for youth orientation and encouraging access to STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The project also aims to enhance awareness of local activities and production processes, fostering integration between schools and businesses. Specifically, guided by teachers, students will present innovative works, focusing on environmental, energy, digital, industrial automation, and communication themes. “Fabbricando” originated in 2005 “from an idea and the need of Acciaierie Bertoli Safau-Danieli Group to root itself more deeply in its territory and seek a close synergy with the surrounding environment”, noted Paola Perabò, Executive Vice President of Human Resources & Academy at Danieli Group. She added that “thanks to the collaboration with one of the schools in the Province of Udine, the idea of creating a competition aimed at promoting awareness of local activities and production processes and fostering integration between schools and businesses was born. This project quickly evolved from a local to a national context”. In this synergy between business, education, and the local community, the Group is committed to continuing its efforts to help develop talent.
The four calls of Danieli Group’s “Fabbricando”
The “Fabbricando” project by Danieli Group engages schools of all levels, with four calls targeting: nursery, primary, and lower secondary schools in Friuli-Venezia Giulia; upper secondary schools and technical institutes; ITS Academy; from the past edition, also university courses in primary education sciences. Each project will be assessed by a dedicated committee, which will award the winners in each of the four calls in Udine on Saturday, April 13, 2024. Applications can be submitted from September 18 to December 31, 2023, on the website www.concorsofabbricando.it. On the same site, participants can fill out the participation form until March 8, 2024, and send their works to Danieli Academy, accompanied by a report of up to five pages in the most appropriate format. The fourth call aims to promote and enhance the training of competent teachers in scientific disciplines for nursery and primary schools. As highlighted by Danieli Group, candidates must have defended their thesis in the academic years 2020/2021, 2021/2022, and 2022/2023 (by March 8, 2024), and should not have exceeded 30 years of age at the time of the thesis defense. The competition will reward research work that can provide a contribution in terms of transversality, connection with real-world problems, stimulation of scientific learning, and can also be a significant example from the perspective of STEM subject teaching. The thesis, in hard copy and in digital copy on a computer medium, must reach Danieli Academy by March 8, 2024, accompanied by a photocopy of an identity document, the participation form, and the privacy information. The latter two modules can be downloaded from the project’s website.
