Within Universita’ degli Studi di Genova (Unige) is integrated the Electrical, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering and Naval Architecture Department (DITEN) where the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Division is embodied.
Founded in 2012, the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Division of DITEN has its roots in the “Regia Scuola Superiore Navale”, founded in Genoa back in 1870. At present, it gathers people and facilities, skills and competences to enforce the educational and research/innovation activities in the field of Naval Architecture and Marine Technology. In such perspective, beside the development of a strategic focus on several specialist topics (e.g. ship noise emissions, composite materials,…) great attention is also paid to the issue of innovative ship design methodologies and safety rules/ship design process interaction.

The contribution in EDINAF in terms of expertise ranges from a strong tradition in naval ship design processes to consolidated capabilities in simulation and digital modeling of ships and their performance.
For several years, the laboratory ERPI has been working on fundamental contributions to the analysis and understanding of innovative processes. ERPI's research activity has historically focused on the dynamics of innovation in organizations designing and producing goods and/or services. While at the outset, ERPI decided to focus on the problem of evaluation in a mono-criteria and individual dimension (anthropocentric design and analysis of the needs of "lead users"), the team has evolved towards notions of co-creation, resulting in more fundamental investigations into multi-criteria theories and complex process modeling techniques. Over the past 5 years, this shift in research has been aimed at investigating the collective and participative dimensions of innovation, as well as its systemic nature. The digital transformation (industry 4.0, smart cities…) has appeared as a new theme since it induces many changes (and innovations) in products and services, in technologies and in organizations (from the small team to the network of companies).
For more than 10 years, the team of researchers involved in the EDINAF project has been developing research activities in Systems Thinking, Systems Engineering and Systems modelling in a MBSE approach, Systems Interoperability, Enterprise Architecture Framework… Since 2010, they have participated to more than 20 industrial and European projects, and since 2021, they have been participating in a research chair with Airbus called ACTE MBSE - Actionable Collaborative Trustworthy Executable Model-Based Systems Engineering. It aims to contribute to Airbus’ ambitious program for the digital transformation of its R&D, launched four years ago (DDMS: Digital Design Manufacturing & Services).
They also transfer their research works in Master programs, since a part of the researchers has developed and is involved in the Master in Complex Systems Engineering of Université de Lorraine and in the graduate school of engineers, ENSGSI.
University of Lorraine is involved in EDINAF project or the total amount of 53 person months, in WP 9 and WP 10 for developing a Digital Engineering framework and Digital Thread Using Models and their implementation.
