Congratulations to Lucrezia Grassi, a researcher at the RICE – Robots and Intelligent systems for Citizens and the Environment of the Department of Computer Science, Bioengineering, Robotics and Systems Engineering - DIBRIS, who received the 'Innovation, Female Perspective' award in Rome, as part of FORUM PA 2026, promoted by the FPA strategic committee for gender policies.
The award recognises female professionals who, through their diverse skills and backgrounds, contribute to innovating public administration and redefining the scope of the public interest.
The award citation
For her contribution to the integration of robotic technologies in public and healthcare contexts through a rigorous and interdisciplinary approach. In coordinating the development of robotic solutions within complex projects such as RAISE, Fit4MedRob and DHEAL-COM, she has successfully linked research, the clinical sector and public regulation, facilitating the adoption of scalable models.
He has made technological innovation practically applicable within the public administration, harmonising experimentation, organisational sustainability and regulatory requirements.
Through a forward-looking vision, he contributes to defining the rules and opportunities for a public administration capable of managing emerging technologies in the service of citizens.
