On Wednesday, April 8th, the Enrico Fermi Museum welcomed a truly special guest: Rachel Fermi, Enrico Fermi’s granddaughter, who travelled a long way to visit us. Arriving from Scotland, where she lives and works as a photographer, Rachel was deeply moved by the Museum and joined us in retracing the life and work of her […]
On March 12, 2026, the Kickoff Meeting for the TRHYB project was held at the Enrico Fermi Research Center (CREF). This new joint research initiative between CREF and ENEA is dedicated to the study of fusion-fission hybrid reactors, in particular the production of tritium using next-generation tritium-breeding blankets. The TRHYB project is part of CREF’s […]
Rome, March 17, 2026. A new project in collaboration with the PhD program in Heritage Science at Sapienza University applies advanced scientific methodologies to reconstruct the dynamics of the destruction of ancient sculptural heritage. The Enrico Fermi Research Center (CREF) will host researcher Emanuela Bruno for the next six months. She is enrolled in the […]
TALK Economic Complexity and Matrix Factorization: Inferring Hidden Capabilities in Municipal Production Networks March 11 – 2pm Aula Fermi Speaker: Stefano Massel In Economic Complexity, capabilities represent the hidden endowments that shape regions’ productive structures. While central to theoretical frameworks, empirical approaches to inferring them directly from data remain scarce and largely unexplored. This work […]
13 February 2026. The Centro Studi e Ricerche “Enrico Fermi” (CREF) in Rome hosted the CODE project (Coupling Opinion Dynamics with Epidemics) concluding workshop: a day dedicated to unpacking how the viral spread of ideas influences the viral spread of disease. The CODE project was born from a simple but profound observation: an epidemic is not […]
The transition towards a green and digital economy—often termed the “Twin Transition”—is the defining challenge of our time. But how do we ensure this shift does not exacerbate existing inequalities? How do we move from ambitious rhetoric to effective, evidence-based policy? These were the central questions addressed during the final workshop of the PRIN 2022 […]
9 February 2026. The President and all the staff of the Enrico Fermi Research Centre express their condolences on the passing of Prof. Antonino Zichichi, internationally renowned physicist and key figure in the history of our organisation. Born in Trapani in 1929, Zichichi worked at leading international research centres. In 1965 at CERN in Geneva, […]
On January 21st, 2026, the Enrico Fermi Research Centre (CREF) hosted the annual PhD Day, a cornerstone of our institutional calendar that brings together researchers, welcomes new talent, and reaffirms our mission to promote high-level scientific research and outreach. The morning began with a warm welcome from our President, Angela Bracco, who highlighted that being […]
The Fostering Research Synergies (FRS) workshop is back for its fourth edition, continuing its tradition as a self-organised platform built by PhD students and early-career researchers for their peers, to explore complex systems and how science connects to the world around us. Born from a collaboration between IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca and CREF (Rome), […]
