Doing research today means above all looking for answers to specific problems and these aspects are best known to those in the field. Our collaboration can be useful in helping us understand where we are taking technology, how it will impact work and our ways of life. I think that this is an exceptional opportunity for our faculties to find a concrete application for their studies».

The presence of the Catholic University reinforces the purpose for which this activity was born ten years ago».
