The research themes of the PhD in Research and Social Innovation (R.I.S.) focus on areas crucial for the progress of contemporary societies.

These include the analysis of social and cultural innovation processes, the study of public policies, and their effectiveness in addressing both local and global challenges. Social inclusion and cohesion dynamics will also be explored, with a focus on vulnerable communities and strategies to promote their empowerment. Other areas of interest involve environmental sustainability and resource management, as well as the impact of digital technologies on communication and participatory processes. The research will employ interdisciplinary approaches, combining theories and methods from various disciplines, to produce innovative knowledge and effective practices for improving community living conditions and fostering social transformation.
