UPRAISE Webinar | Accelerate Industrial Innovation with XR 

May 22, 2026 - May 22, 2026

Discover how Extended Reality is transforming industrial innovation, collaboration, and skills development. XR is already changing how industry innovates. Are you ready to use it?

Extended Reality is no longer just an emerging trend. It is already being used to prototype faster, 
train teams more effectively, and rethink how products and processes are developed. 

The real question is: how do you move from curiosity to actual 
implementation? 

This is what we will explore in the first UPRAISE webinar, bringing together voices from industry, research, and academia to share how XR is being applied today—and what it takes to adopt it successfully. 

📅 Tuesday, 9 June 
🕒 11:00 – 12:15 CET 
📍 Online 

You’ll hear concrete use cases, insights on skills gaps, and perspectives from: 
Marco Sacco (CNR), Gustavo Marfia (University of Bologna), Alessandro Zara (EXVIRIENCE), Alessandro Pollini & Ioannis Chatzigiannakis (Sapienza University of Rome), and Thierry Koscielniak (ENSAM)

We will also present the upcoming XR-Driven Design Thinking & Innovation Course, designed for those who want to go beyond theory and start applying XR in real innovation processes—developing skills in design thinking, prototyping, and evaluation of XR solutions. 

If you are looking to understand not just what XR can do, but how to use it to create value, this session is for you.
