The goal of this center is to include as many researchers from our faculty initially, then from our university, our geographic area, our country, from all over the world. To this purpose, the center sets itself to promote and support new e-research projects, to encourage the building of multidisciplinary groups that should cooperate among themselves and share resources and infrastructure.
