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.

SLOW SUMER. Repair, Reuse, Recycling and Southern Mesopotamian Society in the Changing World of 2500-2000 BC
Principal Investigator: Licia Romano (Sapienza Università di Roma)
Vice Principal Investigator: Giulia Festa (CREF)
CREF Team: Giulia Festa, Claudia Scatigno, Silvia Giampaolo, Valentina Caruso
Code: 2022LFKPNH
SLOW SUMER aims to study the Repair, Reuse, and Recycling in the framework of the Southern Mesopotamian Society in the Changing World of 2500-2000 BC through a multidisciplinary approach. The project is based on archaeological and philological data, modern scientific methods coupled with a Machine Learning approach, and finally interpreted within a sociological perspective. Expected results will be a solid base for further research on repair, reuse, and recycling in other periods and geographical areas. Furthermore, the project will provide, through an ancient example, new and useful evidence on the social and historical importance of the circular economy, in contrast with the anomaly of the contemporary throwaway society.
