SUMMARY:Overtourism in Barcelona: empirical evidence
DESCRIPTION:Research seminar of the Cluster Tourism\, Marketing and Regional Development\nSpeaker: Prof. Philipp Wassler – University of Bergamo \nOvertourism has reemerged as a pressing issue in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic\, fuelling widespread public protests. Despite its growing relevance\, the concept remains ambiguously defined in academic discussions. This study seeks to clarify the notion of overtourism by adopting a resident-centered perspective\, emphasizing the economic\, demographic\, and socio-cultural factors that influence how the phenomenon is perceived. Focusing on Barcelona and employing a mixed-methods approach\, the research reveals that residents primarily associate overtourism with excessive crowding\, security concerns\, pollution\, and rising costs and gentrification. Through surveys of Barcelona residents and expert interviews\, the study finds that millennials are the most critical of overtourism\, a stance shaped by their lower economic reliance on tourism\, political ideology\, and higher education levels. \nLanguage: English \nOnline participation: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/241ca70d-f588-4999-a349-86ed054d8558@92513267-03e3-401a-80d4-c58ed6674e3b \nEvent website: https://www.unibz.it/en/events/overtourism-in-barcelona-empirical-evidence

SUMMARY:Efficient rolling bearings: current challenges\, analysis methods\, and use-cases from the industry
DESCRIPTION:From CFD to design: discover how Schaeffler reduces rolling-bearing losses with smart analysis and lubricant modeling for efficient\, sustainable products. \nRolling bearings are machine elements that are used in a high number of industrial applications\, enabling low-friction support for rotating components. Particularly due to the electrification of the automotive industry\, requirements for further reduction of friction losses are increasing to meet the demands of sustainable and energy efficient products. \nSchaeffler is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of rolling bearings and addresses these challenges through continuous product and analysis methods development. \nThis lecture will present practical solutions for friction reduction that are being developed and provided by Schaeffler. Insights will be given into how efficient and accurate analysis software can be used in the development process\, with a particular focus on the underlying methods and numerical simulations. \nA special emphasis will be placed on the analysis of lubricants used in rolling bearings\, utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The insights gained will be illustrated using examples from the industrial collaboration between unibz and Schaeffler. \nEvent website: Efficient rolling bearings: current challenges\, analysis methods\, and use-cases from the industry / Free University of Bozen-Bolzano
