CI&SA in Post EXPO scenario
Ci&Sa is an Open project to additional external contributions.It will represent a strong opportunity to: tackle and implement EXPO’s insights harmonize internal research in DISBA integrate and complement interdisciplinary Institutes &
Departments within CNR strenghten the Italian Research in the Agri-Food International
Scenario through an common approach
CI&SA perspective for CNRCI&SA will represent:• An unique plaftorm supporting
innovation for the Italian agrifoodSMEs and Industry
• The National pole for agrifoodresearch, able to attract otherinstitutions and expertises
• The Strategic player to addressupcoming challenges at global level
• The Key partner for joint research in Horizon 2020 framework
