The Lagrange Project is entitled to Lagrange, the greatest mathematician and scientist born and lived in Turin and in Piedmont, and was strongly fostered and supported by CRT Foundation with the scientific coordination of ISI Foundation; the project aims at taking and tackling the ambitious challenge of complexity.
It will represent a proactive support to the research on the organization of complex systems with all their potential applications in a variety of production sectors as well as a useful tool to try to spread a new culture of innovation.

The intervention modalities identified by the Lagrange Project are scholarships and contracts, in addition to the Lagrange Laboratory funded at the ISI Foundation. The attribution of the Lagrange Fellow and research scholarships takes place in the framework of those research projects whose guidelines were approved by the scientific committee, thus establishing in a factual way a connection among all support tools. The research scholarships are established for University graduates who live in Piedmont and in the Aosta Valley, and submit research projects in the domain of complex systems science (new materials, innovation of processes, mechanical technologies, biotechnologies, etc.). Such projects are often carried out in a private company with the support and the scientific supervision of a University Department or the Turin Polytechnic University, or of a Research Center mainly funded with public capital. From 2003 to 2010, 10 calls for research fellowships and 5 Lagrange Start Up calls have been set up. Starting from 2011, a new tool will be deployed: it is called "Lagrange Applied Research Scholarship", and in the light of the previous successful experiences it reforms some points in order to make most effective an essential bridge between academic research and business systems.
