The Department has issued the notice STUPIRE – Scientific Transdisciplinary Unexplored Paths for Innovative Research on Environment, with which it intends to promote excellent and original research paths, with the involvement of institutes belonging to different departmental macro-areas. The activities will be financed with the resources of the FOE CAPITALE NATURALE project, for the development of transdisciplinary research proposals on the following topics:

1. Resources: from territorial resources to strategic autonomy (abiotic and biotic resources, resilience, competitiveness, regulatory aspects, external relations, etc.)
2. Territories: the integrated and sustainable management of urban and non-urban areas, and their contexts (public goods, natural resource economy and knowledge economy)
3. Relationships: ecosystem health and the balance between man and the environment (scales, dynamics, processes, indicators and precursors, emergent properties, essential variables and weak signals)
4. Changes: preparing for, managing and adapting to unwanted changes related to or resulting from environmental aspects (crises, emergencies, priorities, relationships and contexts, capacity building)

The projects have a duration of two years and a maximum funding of €200,000.00.
