Our way of doing research follows two concrete drivers of innovation. The first is that the majority of the studies we carry out are action-research ones: for every research project, our goal is to test and develop design and operational tools useful to people and territories. The second is the use of open mode thinking through multidisciplinary involvement, namely the activation of "generative" paths of ideas and contributions to create an ideal and concrete space for shared thoughts, growth and innovation. We want our research projects to be the product of a call to action-research, so that each work is representative of the reflections, outcomes and lens of disciplinary interpretation of those scholars and experts who already deal with the topics at hand and who are open to discussion and funded scientific production. We are particularly keen to involve young researchers by promoting and supporting open research, where even medium-term results constitute a source of information and data to stimulate the rise of further questions, ideas and scientific contamination. For this reason, we have projects currently in the works that will be activated through platforms, enabling self-generation and regeneration of the opensource contributions of the various academics engaged in the topics covered.
