The Advanced Studies Institute (ASI) will take place in northern Italy, including the cities of Milan, Turin, Bologna, and Modena, where a strong and resilient manufacturing sector resides. As evidenced in recent years, a resilient manufacturing sector is critical for coping with an international supply chain disruption. In addition, a strong manufacturing sector is essential to economic prosperity and national security as it generates employment and wealth while encouraging research and technological innovation. The ASI will help prepare an advanced manufacturing workforce for the United States to succeed in an increasingly competitive global market. The ASI will promote collaborative and global thinking and prepare the participating students to become more comfortable with international collaborations. The ASI will also expose participating students to emerging manufacturing technologies, as well as strong bridges between fundamental research and industrial applications. Novel technologies and manufacturing processes or systems resulting from the workforce development and international collaborative research will lead to long-term economic benefits for both the U.S. and Italy. The ASI will help train the next generation of American manufacturing leaders who can leverage the global resources to contribute to a more resilient U.S. economy. The Advanced Studies Institute (ASI) leverages the unique facilities in Italy to train U.S. manufacturing engineering students and foster innovative research ideas. Italy’s strong manufacturing sector embraces emerging technologies that are the building blocks of Industry 4.0, or the Fourth Industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 transforms a physical model of manufacturing to a digital one, creating “smart factories” and introducing digital business models. The ASI is comprised of eight short courses with each course covering one emerging technology of Industry 4.0: (1) advanced processes and robotics, (2) horizontal and vertical integration, (3) Internet of Things, (4) simulation, (5) advanced machining, (6) augmented and virtual reality, (7) additive manufacturing, and (8) big data and cloud computing. Short courses are complemented by factory tours, research discussions, and short-term projects. There will be 15 U.S. graduate students participating in the ASI each year, totaling 30 students for the two-year duration of the project. Each ASI student will be in Italy for 15 days. The key Italian partners are eight world-class researchers. They will teach short courses, moderate discussion sessions, recruit and select the Italian students to join the U.S. students, as well as mentor all ASI students. Other Italian partners include three research labs that will host visits from the ASI students, the Italian Association of Manufacturing Technologies that will work with its member companies to arrange factory tours, and ten companies that will offer factory tours. Overall, students will have access to a unique research environment in Italy where both universities and industries facilitate the maturity of research projects into commercialization.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

高级研究所（ASI）将在意大利北部举行，包括米兰、都灵、博洛尼亚和摩德纳等城市，这些城市拥有强大而有弹性的制造业，近年来的证据表明，有弹性的制造业对于应对这一挑战至关重要。此外，强大的制造业对于经济繁荣和国家安全至关重要，因为它可以创造就业和财富，同时鼓励研究和技术创新，从而帮助美国培养先进的制造业劳动力。在竞争日益激烈的全球市场中。 ASI 将促进协作和全球思维，让参与的学生更好地适应国际合作。ASI 还将让参与的学生接触新兴制造技术，以及基础研究和工业应用之间的牢固桥梁。劳动力发展和国际合作研究产生的系统将为美国和意大利带来长期经济利益，ASI 将帮助培训下一代美国制造业领导者，他们可以利用全球资源为更具弹性的美国做出贡献。经济高等研究院。 (ASI) 利用意大利独特的设施来培训美国制造工程专业的学生，​​并培养创新的研究理念。 ASI 由八门短期课程组成，每门课程涵盖工业 4.0 的一项新兴技术：(1) 先进流程和机器人，(2)横向和纵向集成，（3）物联网，（4）模拟，（5）先进加工，（6）增强和虚拟现实，（7）增材制造，以及（8）大数据和云计算短期课程。每年将有 15 名美国研究生参加 ASI，项目为期两年，总计 30 名学生，每名 ASI 学生将在意大利呆 15 年。天。主要的意大利合作伙伴是八名世界级的研究人员，他们将教授短期课程、主持讨论会、招募和选拔意大利学生加入美国学生，并指导所有 ASI 学生。其他意大利合作伙伴包括三个研究实验室。接待 ASI 学生的参观，意大利制造技术协会将与其会员公司合作安排工厂参观，以及十家提供工厂参观的公司总体而言，学生将有机会进入意大利独特的研究环境，两所大学都在意大利。和行业促进研究项目的成熟该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
