Project Description

Area Description

The team has developed transversal skills and has gained extensive experience in providing innovative design solutions and effective methods of intervention.

Our team can manage a research project throughout its lifecycle: from scouting for funding opportunities, writing the proposal and taking care of all the administrative tasks regarding the submission, to managing the project and preparing the financial report.

Moreover, we perform multi-project management activities, taking care of all the aspects related to planning, finance, reporting, legal advice, organization and communication.

We can assist with research projects of any dimensions, including complex industrial research projects that involve a high number and diversity of partners (national and international institutes, such as universities, public and private research institutions, public administrations, businesses either individually and/or in association, regional development agencies); with particular reference to projects within the H2020 Programme, to Public Tenders of the Ministry of Education and MISE, as well as to regional and local calls.

Our network of partners is constantly expanding and strengthening, as each project represents a unique opportunity of growth both for us and for them.

The innovative ideas at the core of our projects, which are promoted by excellent and skilled researchers and local entrepreneurs, have resulted in a total of 68 submitted research proposals, 32 of which have been successful and have received funding (9 are currently in progress) on an average turnover rate for the project amounting to about 500,000 € and approximately 170 staff members involved.
