The Sapienza's Policies for Research and Innovation, approved by Academic Senate Resolution No. 177 of 8 July 2025, defines Sapienza's strategic guidelines, in line with Sapienza's Strategic Plan and the Statute.

These policies aim to strengthen **scientific excellence, international competitiveness, the creation of public value and social responsibility** in order to address the challenges of the national and European context.

Sapienza's strategies are based on a number of **key cross-cutting principles**: the centrality of human capital, the promotion of interdisciplinary research, a focus on social responsibility, the enhancement of scientific infrastructure and laboratories, and the adoption of digital tools for the management and monitoring of research activities.

These principles are translated into **comprehensive policies** aimed at supporting a modern, ethical and competitive research ecosystem at national and international level:

### **1. Focus on and promotion of researchers**
