The Lagrange Project, launched in 2003, is considered one of Europe’s pioneering and most innovative initiatives in complex systems science and data science.
Promoted and funded by Fondazione CRT as part of the Lagrange Project, it is led scientifically by the ISI Foundation. The scholarships aim to bridge the gap between academic research and industry, with a strong focus on Data Science for Social Impact.
Our scholars work in a dynamic research environment, collaborating with advisors who have internationally recognized scientific expertise, as well as with global organizations such as UNICEF and the WFP.
A workshop will be held on March 10th at the ISI premises to showcase the results of the projects undertaken by Lagrange Scholars.
