ART-ER

ART-ER Attractiveness Research Territory is based in Bologna, Northern Italy. It was born in May 2019 from the merger of two long-established regional government agencies: ASTER (research and technology) and ERVET (regional development). Previously, ERVET carried out activities, projects and services on request of regional government departments, in coordination with provincial and municipal authorities, to promote a territorially balanced and socio-economically and environmentally sustainable development of Emilia Romagna.

Today, ART-ER’s mission it to foster the region’s sustainable growth by developing innovation and knowledge, attractiveness and internationalisation of the regional economic system.
