In Italy, research funding opportunities come from foundations and public and private bodies that support innovative projects in various scientific and technological fields. Several public and private research bodies offer competitive calls for proposals, while foundations such as AICS, Cariplo and Telethon fund studies of excellence. These instruments promote growth, collaboration and the social impact of Italian research.
This section provides information on funding opportunities offered by foundations and other public and private research bodies that can support research activities in various disciplines of interest to the university.
