The project team is composed of members at different stages of their career: one full professor, an associate professor, two researchers and a post-doctoral research associate (PDRA) to be hired specifically for this project. This is an important factor playing in favor of a successful project, since different levels of experience and expertise result in different perspectives and experienced members are a guarantee for an efficient management of the project. The PDRA will be hired to work on the planned large-scale experiments, which require fully committed personnel.

On 15-17 September 2025 we hosted the “Workshop on geophysical flows: from the laboratory to the nature” as part of the joint workshop “Workshop on experimental and numerical modelling approaches to investigate gravity flows”, which took place in Bari on 15-17 September 2025 and Rende (CS) on 17-19 September 2025. The workshop was organized in collaboration with another PNRR-funded project (RETURN). The event was also sponsored and supported by the Italian Association of Volcanology (AIV). 

Here follows a brief description of the results achieved by the IMPROVE Projects.
