End beneficiaries are small and medium-sized enterprises, national and regional institutions engaged in R&D, policy-makers, managers and stakeholders.
AREA: AREA is the operator of reference in Italy for technology transfer. It is a prestigious multi-sector Science and Technology Park that carries out research, development and innovation activities aimed at achieving results of excellence. The AREA Science Park is a place where top-level training, research and business philosophy blend and become a fundamental resource for the economic and employment growth of the territory. The quality of the services offered, the contacts with academic and research institutions, the high level of competence of the human resources, together with the beautiful location of the Park– in the far eastern part of Friuli Venezia Giulia – have generated an exclusive environment, namely the AREA Science Park, with flexible solutions to accommodate businesses, structures, instruments and services to support the development of knowledge and technology led activities.
Trieste University: The University of Trieste, with its wide range of courses and opportunities of integration into working life within the prestigious international scientific institutions of the city, is one of the main reference points for young – and often foreign – people who chose to study in the North-East of Italy. Nowadays humanities and the strong commercial vocation of Trieste melt with a culture of innovation of which the university – with its high scientific works, several research contracts with enterprises and institutions, the registration of its patents and the creation of many spin-offs – is a fundamental element. Quality research and education, attention to the students and internationality characterise a university that confirms the cosmopolite spirit of the city of Trieste.
