Research
All those affiliated with dAeD, organized into operational units, laboratories and Spin-offs, conduct studies, projects and programs with high scientific content in accordance with the provisions of the University and Departmental Strategic Plans, the cycles of National Research Plans and the competitive lines of calls at regional, national, European and international level. In order to compete for the highest standards for the Evaluation of Research Quality, the operational areas of research are added that involve the training courses directly promoted by dAeD, with the implementation of II level Masters and Doctoral Cycles, initiatives for the internationalization of Research, but also for the transfer from experimentation of educational experiences aimed at excellence.
The research carried out is financed by ministerial funds, direct and indirect EU funds, other dedicated funds and fundraising, in order to meet the demand for innovation and development, through the production of studies, research and experiments designed to satisfy the interest of the various public and/or private entities and of the territory and/or socio-productive context for which we operate. The Third Mission activities complete and transfer to the territory, experiences, actions and projects with the aim of contributing to the social, economic and environmental development of the reference contexts, with particular attention to the actions carried out, with the network of businesses, public administration, non-profit associations, other research, cultural and scientific bodies. Training courses, events, projects and activities are carried out inside and outside the departmental structures, in order to disseminate and disseminate levels of competence and knowledge in non-academic environments, also by collaborating on projects of high social and ethical value for the beneficiaries identified and the partnership networks activated.
The dAeD expresses its competitiveness and research objectives:
at European level
- with Horizon Europe, LIFE 2021-2027, Creative Europe 2021-2027, COST and other calls, through the Clusters: Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society; Digital, Industry & Space; Climate, Energy and Mobility
at national level
- with the PNRR, through the missions: Digitalisation, innovation, competitiveness, culture and tourism; Green revolution and ecological transition; Inclusion and cohesion;
- with the PRIN (Research Projects of Significant National Interest), in the ERC sectors: SH5 Cultures and cultural production: literature, visual and performing arts, music, cultural and comparative studies; SH-7 Human Mobility, Environment, and Space Human geography, demography, health, sustainability science, territorial planning, spatial analysis; PE11 Materials Engineering - Advanced materials development: performance enhancement, modeling, large-scale preparation, modification, tailoring, optimization, novel and combined use of materials, etc;
-with the National Operational Programme (PON) Research and Innovation 2014 – 2020 - Axis 2 - Thematic projects - II.2 Cluster.
at regional level
- with the S3 2021-2027 connected to the POR FESR/FSE 2021-2027 programming, through the innovation areas: Environment, Circular Economy and Biodiversity; Eco-sustainable construction, Energy and Climate; Tourism and Culture; Smart Manufacturing and the related development trajectories and interconnection with the KET's – Enabling Technologies for Innovation.
Compared to the objectives of Agenda 2030: SDG 4 Quality education, SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and infrastructure, SDG 11 Sustainable cities and communities, SDG 12 Responsible consumption and production, SDG 13 Climate action, SDG 17 Partnership for the goals.
With reference to the PNRR missions, the dAeD has scientific expertise and accredited laboratory facilities that converge in thematic research groups, relating to:
• Environmental, natural and anthropogenic risks
• Humanistic culture and cultural heritage as laboratories of innovation and creativity
• Made in Italy circular and sustainable
• Sustainable mobility
Both the Research and Third Mission areas contribute to the objectives as better defined by the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the related National Strategies.
