Innovare con i piedi per terra e la testa fra le nuvole: ANDREA VITALETTI at TEDxRoma

Researcher at the University "La Sapienza" in Rome on networking and environmental monitoring. In 2002 he founded the WLAB and is currently coordinating the PLEASED European project, developing a technology to use plants as bio-sensors. In 2012 he founded WSENSE, a spin-off of the Sapienza focalized on monitoring technologies. A DIY (Do-It-Yourself) lover but even and perhaps even more a DIT (Do-It-Together) one. We can dream a new future and the technology can be the device to have a new perspective to build it, but the unic possibility to reach success is the cooperation with different kind of experts in different fields in a stimulating enviroment : with the feet on the ground and the head into the clouds.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
