Lagrange Project

The Lagrange-Fondazione CRT Project is conceived, promoted and financed by Fondazione CRT, with the scientific coordination of ISI Foundation, and actively supports qualified research projects and initiatives of excellence in accumulating scientific and technological knowledge.

The project also strengthens the bridge between academic research and the business system, enhancing the dynamics of innovation in Piedmont and Aosta Valley and keeping pace with the advancement of studies in complex systems.

Since 2011, more than 800 young researchers have been supported with doctoral and applied research grants for a total investment of more than 44 million euros by Fondazione CRT.
