There are 54 Vita-Salute San Raffaele University projects financed by MUR with the PRIN 2022 call, funded by the European Union - NextGenerationEU within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), Mission 4 'Education and Research' - Component 2 'From research to business'.

Of these 54, 41 projects were won by PIs belonging to the Faculty of Medicine, while 13 were won by PIs belonging to the Faculties of Psychology and Philosophy, for a total contribution of over 4 million euros.

A relevant result, confirmed by the mission "Innovating through knowledge", the engine that drives UniSR in the creation of a campus where training and research find fertile ground for constant growth.

The MUR (Ministry of University and Research) has the task of promoting and developing Italian scientific and technological research activity, in connection with other central and regional state administrations, which have similar competences in the matter. The objective is to encourage those involved in research to have the ability to produce new knowledge and create new products and production processes with high added value of knowledge.

To achieve this goal, the PRIN programme (Research Projects of Significant National Interest) is intended to finance public research projects, in order to promote the national research system, to strengthen interactions between universities and online research bodies with the objectives outlined by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and encourage Italian participation in initiatives relating to the European Union's Framework Program for research and innovation. To this end, the PRIN 2022 call finances two-year projects which, due to their complexity and nature, require the collaboration of several professors/researchers, of research units and of different universities, within the three macro-sectors Life Sciences (LS), Social Sciences and Humanities (SH) and Physical Sciences and Engineering (PE).

There are 54 UniSR projects financed by MUR with the PRIN 2022 call, of which 22 as national coordinators and 32 as project partners, for a total contribution of over 4 million euros. Of these 54, 41 projects were won by PIs belonging to the Faculty of Medicine, while 13 were won by PIs belonging to the Faculties of Psychology and Philosophy.
