You can register for one session and visit one location.
- How many people can I register
You can register a total of 5 people, including yourself. At least one person in the group must be of legal age.
-Can I join the visit?
Since the groups are limited in size due to safety regulations, we ask that you do not take spots away from other visitors and only join your friends or relatives during "Family Time."
- Is there an age limit?
The visit takes place at the research laboratories of IIT, where participants are welcomed by IIT researchers who will explain the nature of their work. For this reason, the visit is not suitable for children under the age of 6.
- When does the registration form close?
The form will close on Friday, June 14, or when the maximum number of participants is reached
- Waiting list
Once the maximum number of participants is reached, a waiting list will be activated for those who may be able to join in case of withdrawal by the admitted participants.
- I'm on the waiting list, what should I do?
Wait for a possible confirmation of participation, which will be sent via email if someone cancels their registration.
- Can I choose which labs to see?
No, for logistical reasons, the tour is entirely organized by IIT.
- Can I make substitutions?
It's not possible to make any substitutions among the registered individuals. If a registered person cancels, any replacement must complete a new registration (but within the deadline of Friday, June 14, at 23:59).
- How many people can participate in the visit?
IIT's safety regulations are necessary to ensure the safety of individuals within the Institute's premises. For this reason, there is a limit to the number of people who can be inside the Institute simultaneously. During the IIT Friends&Family, in addition to the staff normally present in the building, each session can accommodate no more than 100 people at the Center for Convergent Technologies (Morego), 100 people at the Center for Robotics and Intelligent Systems (San Quirico), and 100 people at the Center for Human Technologies (Erzelli), including the necessary staff to ensure the smooth running of the event. For this reason, the event is organized in two sessions.
- After the morning session, do I have to leave the Institute?
Unfortunately, yes. This is necessary to allow other visitors to access the building, in accordance with our safety regulations
- How can I reach the IIT locations?
CCT e CRIS
We recommend not reaching the Genova Bolzaneto locations (both CCT and CRIS) with your own car because there are not sufficient parking areas in the immediate vicinity. For this reason, IIT organizes a free shuttle service departing from Via Romairone.
CHT
The IIT Erzelli location can be reached by car or public transportation.
- How much does the shuttle service cost?
All shuttle services are completely free. The shuttle seats are limited to their capacity (10 seats per shuttle) and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Where is the meeting point for the shuttles?
At the parking area of Via Romairone 12 (where parking spaces are available, see Google Maps).
- What are the shuttle schedules?
The service will be active with departures to and from the meeting point from 9:00 to 9:45, from 12:00 to 12:45, from 13.30 to 14:15 and from 16:30 to 17:15.
