CREF promotes original and high-impact lines of research, based on physical methods, but with a strong interdisciplinary character and in relation to the main problems of the modern knowledge society.
The CREF was born with a dual soul: a research centre and a historical museum. Its aim is to preserve and disseminate the memory of Enrico Fermi and to promote the dissemination and communication of scientific culture.

CODE – Coupling Opinion Dynamics with Epidemics
Coordinator Stefano Guarino CNR
CREF Referrer: Fabio Saracco
Partner Marco Brambilla, Politecnico di Milano
Project Code: P2022AKRZ9
The CODE (Coupling Opinion Dynamics with Epidemics) project aims to investigate the coupling between virtual interactions, leading to opinion formation, and physical interactions, which cause the spreading of epidemics. We will implement an efficient and scalable open-source tool to simulate the spread of infectious diseases in a large-scale geo-localized population and generate alternative counterfactual scenarios. The tool will be made available to policy-makers and stakeholders interested in evaluating the combined impact of mitigation interventions and (dis)information campaigns.
