I have always had a great passion for the sea, transmitted to me by my family, and I began as a child to explore the underwater world thanks to scuba diving. During my university studies I embraced this passion by taking a path that led me to deepen my knowledge of the marine world. Over time I discovered that work and passion can be matched, which is why I would like to continue working in the exciting world of research. Currently I am enrolled in the 36th cycle of PhD FishMed at the University Alma Mater Studiorum of Bologna developed in collaboration with the CNR IRBIM of Ancona, where I am involved in studies that deal with the topics of small fishing and recreational, as well as stock assessment activities.
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.
