Always passionate about the relationship between man and the environment and the sustainable use of natural resources, I found in the biology of fishing a perfect combination of my interests. My experience at CNR-IRBIM began in 2018 thanks to a scholarship and since then I have been mainly involved in evaluating the state of exploitation of fisheries resources. Since 2020 I am PhD student CNR-IRBIM in collaboration with the University of Bologna. Through my research project I aim to investigate the effects of climate change on major fisheries resources, and how these effects interact with the pressure of commercial fishing.
The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
