CER
AREA Science Park: coordinating institution of CER
CER (the Coordination Network of Friuli Venezia Giulia) = a Network of more than 50
public and private research centres, academic institutions and other organisations
operating in the region
Based on an Agreement (2004) and funded by the Regional Government of Friuli
Venezia Giulia, with the participation of the Italian Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the
Italian Ministry for Education, University and Research
Strategic objective: to foster the research potential of the region, by promoting
synergies among research and academic institutions, stressing cooperation between
public and private research sectors (intersectoral mobility) and improving the
attractiveness of qualified human capital (international mobility)
