Sinossi

During the Restoration and Cultural Heritage Days held in Ferrara on the 24th March 2022, it was organized the fourth edition of the Unione Italiana Disegno UID (Italian Association for Drawing) Symposium dedicated to the internationalisation and innovation of research entitled: "National and international experiences compared. Technology transfer, products and processes".  The research projects presented are the result of both competitive tenders and experiences triggered by scientific relations between research centres and institutes from countries of three continents: Africa, America, and Europe. Once again the event was presented as the fruit of the joint work of the two commissions, "Innovation" and "Internationalisation", of the scientific association. The annual symposium aims to highlight applied research, carried out by groups in which UID colleagues are either coordinators or members of interdisciplinary teams, aimed at the development of innovative products or processes. The aim of this publication on the association's international research and innovation activities is to update the catalogue of the experineces and enhance them by publishing a report animated by a strong project spirit that, through discussion, can explore opportunities and channels for the promotion and strengthening of activities on the research, teaching, seminar and conference at an international level.
