Research Projects

The aim of the research projects, in which the Laboratory of Local and Regional Development is actively involved, is to develop applied research and development studies at local and regional level. In addition, through the preparation of economic reports, useful conclusions can be drawn about the impact of regional funding programmes on local economies. Finally, through the research activity and specifically through the preparation of business plans, information on the inclusion of enterprises and local and regional organisations in development programmes is provided. Below, we list the projects we have had the opportunity to contribute to and lead.
