Booklet of the Italian Research Day in the World 2025 - Lund, 15-16 May 2025

The Italian Research Day in the World (GRIM) is an initiative by the Italian Ministry of University and Research, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Organized by the Italian Embassies all over the world, it aims at highlighting the contributions of Italian researchers working abroad and at showcasing Italy's commitment to science, technology, and innovation to promote international cooperation. 

The document collects the contribution of the events organized this year for the first time out of Stockholm, in the Skåne region, joining key actors from academia, industry, the innovation ecosystems of the region, and the regional administration to emphasize the role of policymakers for research and of innovation. 

This initiative brought together scientists engaged in diverse research areas, and representatives from Mind Innovation District, the Lund and Helsingborg Innovation districts and the Malmö Generate district, all having in common the interest to promote the dialogue, the research, and the innovation in Italy, Sweden and in Europe. The initiative was timely because addressing STEM issues in the framework of innovation is becoming a fundamental aspect of policies in the EU and globally, and we expect that STEM minds will play a larger role in the future.
