ONet Workspace is an integrated digital platform developed to coordinate and optimize in real time the complex operations involving heterogeneous systems such as aircraft, ground vehicles, drones, simulators, and intelligent infrastructures. Its primary role is to enable advanced mobility management, but its function extends deeply into the field of education and learning.

In the educational context, ONet Workspace represents an experiential environment where theoretical knowledge and practical operations converge. It does not merely provide data or technical tools, but builds a learning ecosystem in which every action — whether real or simulated — becomes part of a continuous educational process. The platform allows for the integration of diverse disciplines, supporting interdisciplinary learning paths oriented not only toward technical skills, but also toward process awareness, operational responsibility, and the ability to act within complex contexts.

Through real-time interconnection with actual vehicles and environments, ONet Workspace transforms every operational scenario into a situated learning opportunity. Users — whether students, operators, researchers, or decision-makers — can observe, interact, simulate, and reflect on dynamic situations supported by up-to-date data and predictive models. This approach fosters the development of not only technical, but also systemic and relational skills — essential for meeting the challenges of future mobility.

In summary, ONet Workspace is not just a tool for managing advanced mobility: it is an enabling environment for transformative education, where operations and learning reinforce each other, contributing to the growth of an integrated culture of innovation.

Foundational Education and Guided Learning in ONet Workspace

Within the ONet Workspace system, foundational education represents the first level of access to a broad, integrated, and transformative learning journey. It is designed for students of all age groups — from primary school to lower and upper secondary levels — and is based on the idea that a solid, interdisciplinary, and living general culture is essential for developing active citizenship, critical thinking, and openness to the future.

This foundational level includes core knowledge across classical and scientific disciplines, such as:

• Mathematics and applied logic

• Physics and mechanics

• Chemistry and biology

• Computer science and digital technologies

• Electronics and the principles of automation

• Native language and effective communication

• Foreign languages, with a focus on comprehension and exchange

• Civics and law, to understand the rules of shared living

• History and geography, approached in an evolutionary and interconnected way

• Art and music, as essential perceptive and creative languages

• Earth and environmental sciences, to foster ecological awareness

The goal is not merely to transmit content, but to offer cognitive, linguistic, sensory, and relational tools that allow students to navigate the real world with curiosity and competence, and to move confidently through the next stages of their education.

To make this process more engaging and personalized, the ONet Workspace system introduces dialogic avatars — intelligent virtual assistants capable of adapting to the student’s level and interests. These avatars are not simple automated tutors, but interactive mentors designed to stimulate learning through dialogue, storytelling, discovery, and the co-construction of knowledge.

Avatars can:

• Propose differentiated learning paths based on age and cognitive style

• Ask questions, encourage reasoning, and suggest interdisciplinary connections

• Guide students through immersive experiences (simulations, educational games, digital experiments)

• Build bridges between foundational knowledge and more advanced application domains such as robotics, aeronautics, sustainability, or artificial intelligence

In this model, foundational education is not conceived as a preliminary or isolated phase, but as a dynamic and fertile gateway to a holistic and interdisciplinary learning journey — where knowledge is not compartmentalized, but lived as a concrete, meaningful, and transformative experience.

Within the Smart Mobility Program, experimentation is not confined to a closed or simulated environment, but is deeply integrated with real-world operations. The digital systems currently under development, organized within the ONet Workspace platform, are designed to interact in real time with active field vehicles such as aircraft, ground vehicles, drones, and autonomous platforms. Every piece of data collected — from position to performance parameters, from environmental conditions to system feedback — feeds a dynamic cycle of learning and continuous optimization, enabling a fluid interaction between technology, territory, and people.

This vision is a core element of our holistic and interdisciplinary education model, which combines scientific rigor with experiential, technical, and evolutionary dimensions. We do not merely deliver skills; we offer a transformative experience in which learning means exploring, integrating, and acting with awareness. In this context, field experimentation becomes a powerful educational tool: not only for testing systems, but for generating applied knowledge, operational responsibility, and shared vision.

The year 2026 will mark the launch of the first operational phase in Estonia, chosen for its advanced digital infrastructure, regulatory flexibility, and aviation-friendly innovation ecosystem. In 2027, the program will expand to Italy, with the integration of the new simulation laboratory in Zugliano (VI) into the operational network. This center will be equipped with next-generation simulators capable of representing complex predictive scenarios in real time, connected to real operations, in an augmented reality framework that merges physical and digital environments.

This approach is also inspired by previous landmark experiences — among them, the Mediterranea Free Flight project, led by ENAV and Eurocontrol, which pioneered the integration of simulation and operations in a distributed scenario in Europe. In that context, our first simulator was used to create an experimental network supporting the free-flow management of air traffic in the Mediterranean basin. Although the environment at the time was simpler, the experience provided a concrete foundation for the more articulated, interactive, and adaptive model we are now developing.

These tools will enable us to deeply analyze the impact of introducing the Zephyrus ONE and Zephyrus 19 aircraft, designed to overcome the constraints of conventional aviation and operate even from unprepared airstrips. These features make the aircraft particularly well-suited for resilient, decentralized, and accessible mobility, capable of efficiently and continuously connecting islands, inland areas, marginal territories, and low-density communities.

In this scenario, experimentation takes on a new dimension: it is no longer an isolated test, but a living, distributed, and predictive process in which every operation — whether real or simulated — contributes to generating value, knowledge, and continuous improvement. It is the concrete expression of an emerging scientific paradigm, one that goes beyond the processing of information to embrace the evolutionary meaning of processes, integrating rational, relational, and perceptual dimensions.

Il cibo è molto più che nutrimento: è una forma di cura, un ponte tra corpo, anima e terra, un gesto quotidiano che può rigenerare salute, ambiente e relazioni. In un mondo che offre abbondanza apparente ma carenza di vitalità, promuoviamo un’alimentazione viva, consapevole e locale, capace di restituire energia autentica all’organismo e senso di appartenenza alle comunità. Educare alla nutrizione, coltivare in armonia con i ritmi naturali, sperimentare modelli agroalimentari rigenerativi e costruire reti territoriali sono per noi azioni interconnesse, orientate a riportare equilibrio tra ciò che mangiamo, come viviamo e il mondo che vogliamo. Scegliere cibo vero significa scegliere libertà, salute e futuro.
