Il CREF promuove linee di ricerca originali e di grande impatto, improntate ai metodi della fisica, ma con un forte carattere interdisciplinare e in relazione con i principali problemi della moderna società della conoscenza.
From June 9th to 13th, the Enrico Fermi Research Center (CREF) will host the third edition of the Economic Fitness and Complexity (EFC) Summer School. This year’s school is organized in collaboration with UNU-MERIT (Maastricht), UNU-CRIS (Bruges), and the Young Scholar Initiative of the Institute for New Economic Thinking. Economic Fitness and Complexity is a […]
On October 2, 2025, the Enrico Fermi Research Centre (CREF) will host the first PhD Day of the Italian Association of Archaeometry (AIAr). This event will be dedicated to the work of PhD students specializing in science for cultural heritage, offering a valuable opportunity for exchange and discussion. CREF’s established research line and laboratory in […]
Understanding the structure, development, and function of the brain and the nervous system is the challenge of neuroscience, a naturally interdisciplinary field of research that integrates tools and concepts from areas ranging from biology to physics, including psychology and computer science. Fostering exchange between people from different disciplines is fundamental, and for this reason, the […]
On July 9-11, the CREF will host the Complexity in Economics & Finance Workshop, a satellite meeting of the prestigious StatPhys29 (the international conference on Statistical Physics), as a joint event of the #FinEcoNets and Econophysics Colloquium workshop series. Over the past decade and a half, a powerful synergy has emerged between statistical physics, complex systems […]
Recognizing the transformative potential of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs) in scientific inquiry, Centro Ricerche Enrico Fermi (CREF), in collaboration with Pi School, organized a comprehensive course to provide advanced training in these technologies to its researchers and collaborators from other universities and institutions. This initiative directly addresses the increasing demand […]
We live in a world of interconnected systems. From the intricate web of the internet to the complex network of neurons in our brains, understanding how these connections work is crucial. One key concept in understanding these complex systems is “scale invariance.” This means that the system looks similar at different levels of detail. For […]
A recent study published in the Journal of Cultural Heritage reveals fascinating insights into the metalworking techniques used in ancient Egypt. Researchers from CREF, CNR-ISPC, INFN, and the Museo Egizio (Turin) joined forces to analyze 12 copper-alloy objects from the undisturbed tomb of Kha and Merit (TT8), dating back to the mid-18th Dynasty (circa 1425-1352 […]
CREF Talk – Aula Fermi – January 27, 2025 – 2.30 pm Economic Complexity and Growth: A Perspective from New Structural Economics Abstract: We introduce the Endogenous Structural Index (ESI), a novel metric for economic complexity that assesses a country’s capacity to produce complex products. The ESI enhances existing models by integrating the alignment […]
CREF researchers Angelica Sbardella and Andrea Tacchella are guest editors of a special issue in Scienze Regionali, a leading Italian journal in the field. This issue will focus on the application of Economic Complexity (EC) methods to understand regional development. By examining how different scales influence economic outcomes, this research offers a fresh perspective on […]
Phys. Rev. Research 7, 013065 – Published 17 January, 2025 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevResearch.7.013065 Authors: Pablo Villegas (CREF), Andrea Gabrielli (CREF, Roma 3), Anna Poggialini (CREF, Sapienza), Tommaso Gili (IMT Scuola Alti Studi Lucca , ISC) Abstract: Heterogeneous and complex networks represent intertwined interactions between real-world elements or agents. Determining the multiscale mesoscopic organization of clusters and intertwined structures is […]
