This will contribute to the evolution of the Corruption Prevention, Transparency and Privacy Unit into a risk management and regulatory compliance Unit referring to the areas of integrity, transparency, privacy, quality and information security in line with the Resolution n. 05/2025 of the Secretary General.

Background information and description of research projects

The activities related to this position will be carried out mainly within the DIPS project ( https://www.dipsproject.it/ ), focusing on the deployment of innovative solutions based on artificial intelligence and deep learning, and their validation in real industrial environments.
DIPS – Digitalization and Innovation of Public Services project obtained the “Seal of Excellence” from the European Commission as a project of excellence that participated in the context of the Digital Europe Program for the creation of a network of European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH). EDIHs aim to accelerate the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and public administration.
