Senior PM - Graduated in International Relations with a post-university specialization in European Public Relations, I have over 15 years of experience in PM and financial management of national and EU funded projects. I am currently EU-funding coordinator at the Institute for Atmospheric Pollution Research of Italian National Reserarch Council (CNR-IIA) and in this role I am managing several projects and I am the scientific coordinator of LIFE ISLET project (GA 101120073). Previously, I worked at the biggest Italian environmental NGO, Legambiente, developing proposals and managing projects about renewable energies, energy efficiency, social acceptance of RES, cicular economy, climate policies (both Italian and EU), biodiversity conservation. Then, at Institute of Atmospheric Pollution research, my interest in energy issue are linked to the energy impact on air quality and on climate change, managing project on decarbonisation of Islands, mobility and bioenergy. My research activity is more specific on small Italian islands’ sustainability, where the water-energy-waste nexus is crucial. I am PhD candidate in Energy&Environment at La Sapienza University.
