Compliance with the pNR
The scientific activities of CREF and its three-year activity plan are developed in full coherence with the aims and objectives contained in the PNR 2021-2027 (National Research Program). Consequently, all the institution’s structural projects have been conceived with the aim of making a tangible contribution to the country’s development, in conformity with the PNR.
In particular, many of these projects are strongly interdisciplinary and innovative, based on data-driven methodologies, and have a strong international connotation. Some of their scientific activities, such as the joint initiative with the Sony CSL—Rome at CREF, primarily focus on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Together with the recent agreement with the United Nations University—Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT), these activities characterise CREF as a top-tier international hub. All scientific projects also aim to enhance and promote the contribution of young researchers to scientific endeavours.
