Research Areas
The Centre conducts research on both theoretical-interpretative
issues related to local economic development and international
competitiveness of local systems and on topics of specific interest
for the socio-economic system of the Varese area and the Insubria
region.
The first line of research has been generally finding financial
support from national and international research institutions,
giving rise to wide networks of international collaboration.
The second line of research reflects into an agenda of projects
commissioned and funded by local institutions.
