The PULP research team is a highly interdisciplinary group. With expertise spanning Economic Geography, Sociology, Regional Economics, and Policy Analysis, the team employs a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative techniques—such as econometrics, surveys, GIS mapping, and qualitative policy document analysis. The team’s composition is both gender and geographically balanced, fostering diverse perspectives in addressing complex regional challenges.

Team members from Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI), Università degli Studi di Catania (UNICT), Università degli Studi di Torino (UNITO), and Università degli Studi di Trieste (UNITS) bring complementary skills, having collaborated in various national and international projects.
