Le sedi dello Studio sono a Roma nel quartiere Parioli, a Torino, a Bruxelles nel quartiere europeo e dal 2022 abbiamo un punto di contatto a New York.

La sede di Roma è da sempre il punto dove si concentra l’attività consulenziale inerente i fondi strutturali e del Pnrr ed è affiancata,

dal gennaio del 2011, dall’ufficio di Bruxelles che attraverso una qualificata rete di contatti e grazie all’esperienza consolidata in campo nazionale, si propone come desk informativo presso le Istituzioni Comunitarie e fornisce un supporto operativo teso alla costruzione di consorzi europei capaci di attingere ai Fondi Comunitari per il sostegno

dei progetti di eccellenza nel settore della Ricerca e dell’Innovazione

e punto di riferimento naturale per attività di internazionalizzazione,

così come lo sviluppo delle attività di Public Affairs.

Le attività di consulenza dello Studio hanno consentito l’approvazione ed il finanziamento di progetti, negli ultimi 25 anni, per un ammontare

di oltre 1,2 miliardi di euro.
