Our Mission
The mission of the Centro Studi Internazionali is to promote high-level research and analysis in support of institutions, businesses, and public decision-makers, with the aim of contributing to the improvement of society through knowledge, expertise, and operational tools. In this perspective, the Centre fosters the creation of an open space for research and the exchange of ideas, promoting cooperation with universities, organisations, and national and European think tanks, in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the European Union's strategies on sustainability, innovation, and fundamental rights.
Investing in the future means strengthening education, scientific research, and the capacity to analyse global processes, with particular attention to younger generations. The protection of human rights is the foundation of an inclusive and sustainable society. The Centre regards freedom of research as a strategic asset: it enables the full valorisation of accumulated knowledge and the development of scenarios and forecasts that contribute to understanding geopolitical, economic, and environmental change.
Activities include applied research, the publication of analyses and policy papers, the organisation of conferences and training programmes, cooperation with public and private actors, the development of a documentation centre, and consultancy. Particular attention is devoted to children, young people, and women, with the aim of fostering inclusion, participation, and equitable development. The elaboration of global scenarios and the assessment of their implications are the tools through which the Centre seeks to contribute to the formulation of public policies and sustainable strategies for international governance.
