Location: Palazzo Zani, Via dei Bianchi 2 - Reggio Calabria - Room No. 25

Scientific Director: Prof. Michela Mantovani

Purpose

The aim of the laboratory is to understand and promote the excellence of Made in Italy and Made in Sud .

This means the promotion, development, and production of goods and services for the internationalization of Italian companies, particularly in the creative industries, cultural, or luxury brand sectors, such as cultural goods and activities, tourism, food and wine, mocinema/cinema tourism, and renewable energy.

Location: DIGIES Department - Palazzo Zani, Via dei Bianchi 2 - Reggio Calabria - Room 31

Scientific Director: Prof. Alessio Rauti

Purpose

The Center aims to investigate and explore, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the processes of transformation of national citizenship, both within the context of complex phenomena of supranational "constitutional" integration and in relation to the progressive evolution of European states into immigration countries. It therefore promotes legal research on citizenship at various levels (global, European, national, local), the rights of foreigners in the context of international migration, social inclusion, and political participation.

Location: DIGIES - Palazzo Zani - Via dei Bianchi n. 2 - 89127 Reggio Calabria

Scientific Director: Prof. Daniele Cananzi

Purpose

CRED is the first research center dedicated solely to the study of the aesthetics of law, a topic and question as ancient as it is new in the philosophy of law and legal sciences. Following pioneering studies that successfully established a connection between law and aesthetics, research on the aesthetic dimension of law and its form has begun to attract a growing number of scholars. This is demonstrated by CRED's international academic board and the activities the center has organized in recent years, involving scholars from various Italian and international universities as well as public and private institutions.

Activity

CRED aims to promote scientific initiatives and research, establish a specialized library, and publish a series of studies to foster international debate on the aesthetics of law. To this end, it presents itself not only as a research center but also as a meeting point for scholars from around the world who wish to explore and develop the topic of aesthetics in relation to legal matters.
More information on current projects is available on the Laboratory's website .
