The second edition of the National Award for Digital Innovation, presented to the best projects developed by middle schools, will be presented today, Tuesday, Nov. 23, at Anitec-Assinform’s “Digital for Growth – Innovation, Growth, Transformation” event.
The Anitec-Assinform evaluation committee, headed by Francesco Profumo, President of the Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, has selected the winning projects. The award is promoted in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the participation of companies, agencies and cultural associations. The project is part of the strategic “Repubblica Digitale” initiative, whose manifesto was signed by Anitec-Assinform in 2019.
Mirta Michilli, Director General of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, is a member of the evaluation committee.
The association presented each of the four winning projects with a €2500 prize and a guided visit to the Trieste or Genoa in the Spring of 2022. The initiative aims to involve students and teachers in proactive awareness-raising and orientation actions to promote digital transformation at school, at home and in society, as a whole, promoting the role and value of digital technology. All projects are published at www.anitec-assinform.it and will be promoted through future initiatives.
