The Foundation for International Studies and Geopolitics (Fondazione di Studi Internazionali e Geopolitica) is an Italian moral entity that promotes culture and science as tools for dialogue and peace. Based in Rome, it is chaired by Prof. Giancarlo Elia Valori, Honorary Member of the French Academy of Sciences, and its Steering Committee is composed of eminent personalities in the fields of culture, science, law and international relations.
The Foundation carries out activities aimed at strengthening peace and coexistence among peoples, deepening and spreading knowledge of international issues, promoting the values of the individual and democracy, and a balanced economic and social development.
It conducts research, both nationally and internationally, in the fields of history, sociology, political science, law, economics, international cooperation and integration, and carries out activities in the areas of cultural heritage.
The Foundation for International Studies and Geopolitics pursues, among other things, the promotion and networking of global companies in the field of technological innovation.
More specifically, it supports large-scale projects in all sectors of industry, deepens the research and dissemination of emerging technologies characterized by pervasive, highly mutable innovations, so capable of evolving rapidly, even affecting geopolitical balances, and promotes the linkage of global companies operating in the field of technological innovation.
The Study Lab on Cyberspace and Artificial Intelligence
Within the framework of the above activities, the Foundation for International Studies and Geopolitics, has established a laboratory for studies and research of high scientific content on the topic of Cyberspace and Artificial Intelligence, two innovations that are revolutionizing the patterns of human life and changing the world’s geopolitical scenarios. Topics, among others, extensively covered in the books of the President of the Foundation, Prof. Valori, including the latest “Global Geopolitical Scenarios Between New Planetary Order and Artificial Intelligence, editor Rubbettino, 2024“.
