Mission
Climate change, scarcity of critical resources, food crises, health emergencies, and ecosystem functionality loss are closely interconnected emergencies, whose solution requires new scientific and methodological approaches. The impact of human activities on the ecosystem is now such that it is not enough to preserve resources and the environment to prevent further degradation, but concrete actions are needed to ensure their regeneration. The new departmental development program aims to provide new chemical and biological tools and processes for the regeneration of natural resources and productive activities, in line with the objectives of the PNRR. It represents the natural development of COMP-HUB, the laboratory born in the previous edition of the Departments of Excellence to address the themes of complexity at the interface between Chemistry and Biology. The COMP-R project (The complexity challenge for sustainable development: towards Regeneration) will provide the skills, infrastru
