Sony CSL is a leading-edge organization that works to create new research areas and paradigms, as well as new technologies and businesses for the common social good.
Sony CSL Rome aims to contribute to the redesign of our societies with a coordinated and transdisciplinary approach operating at very different spatial and temporal scales, from short time scales of the present to long-term strategic thinking, from the micro-scale of interventions (sustainable mobility, production processes, logistics, etc.) to the larger scale of more complex features (economic development, democratic practices and social dialogue, inclusion, leveraging the vocation of specific areas, etc.).

- Interacting with the other partners of the S+T+ARTS Air project to share ideas, support other artistic projects and contribute to the general success of the final festival;
- Writing the expected documentation and reports related to the S+T+ARTS Air project.
