INDUSTRIAL PROBLEM SOLVING
WITH PHYSICS
Trento, 17-22 July 2023
IPSP: a unique sharing opportunity and a great growing experience for young researchers and industrial companies.
Industrial Problem Solving with Physics (IPSP) is a one-week event organized by the Department of Physics, the Doctoral School in Physics and the Division for the Valorization and Impact of Research of the University of Trento, in collaboration with Confindustria Trento, Polo Meccatronica - Trentino Sviluppo and from this year Hub Innovazione Trentino.
The aim of this event is to boost the connection between University and industry. Young and motivated researchers will have the chance to prove their skills, while selected companies will experience the unique opportunity to collaborate with young and talented brains.
The 2023 edition of IPSP (IPSP2023) will be held from 17 to 22 July 2023, at Polo Scientifico e Tecnologico "Fabio Ferrari", Via Sommarive 9 - Povo, Trento.

How does IPSP work?
3 companies and up to 30 brains (master course students and graduates, PhD students, post-docs and fellow researchers) will be selected and will work in teams led by 3 experienced researchers (the Scientific Committee) for a week to find solutions to the technological problems proposed by the companies. Solutions will be achieved through inspiration, resources, and facilities available at the Department of Physics.
IPSP aims at creating a bridge for the transfer of technological knowledge and human resources between the University, in particular the Department of Physics, and companies. Students and researchers participating in the event will have the opportunity to tackle new practical challenges, crossing more than one area of their scientific background.
Participating companies can obtain a solution to their problems and experience an alternative approach about how to reach their goals. At the same time, they will have the chance to scout young and talented people for future collaborations.
Application and registration of companies
The guidelines for companies interested in participating in IPSP2023 are contained in the Calls-companies.
There are two phases to follow:
- Phase 1: candidature submission (deadline 14 April 2023 at 01.00 p.m.)
To apply, companies must send an e-mail with the required documents to ipsp2023@unitn.it.
- Phase 2: payment of fee and registration (deadline 26 May 2023)
By 17 May 2023, the selected companies will receive an e-mail with the instructions necessary to send the company logo and pay the fee, thus completing the registration procedure.

The deadline for making the payment of the fee and finalizing the registration is 26 May 2023.
Application and registration of Brains
The guidelines for students and young researchers (the brains) interested in participating in IPSP2023 are available in the Calls-brains.
There are two phases to follow:
- Phase 1: candidature submission (deadline 14 April 2023, at 01.00 p.m.)
To apply, students and young researchers must complete an online form starting from 7 February 2023.
Once the deadline has expired, the application form will automatically be deactivated.
Candidates coming from universities or research centers located outside the venue and without a domicile at the latter can apply for accommodation: all the information (requirements, criteria, allocation methods, etc.) are available in the call.
- Phase 2: registration and payment fee (deadline 29 May 2023)
By 17 May 2023, the selected candidates will receive an e-mail with the instructions necessary to pay the fee, thus completing the registration procedure.
The registration fee for students and young researchers is € 20.00 and includes: the participation kit, stationery, paper materials relating to the problems, coffee breaks and lunches organized during the event, access (during the event) to the Department of Physics building and educational labs involved in the IPSP2023 activities and to the University wireless network.
The deadline for payment of the fee and finalizing the registration is 29 May 2023.
