The investment is expected to improve the quality, precision and efficiency of environmental monitoring, geospatial data acquisition and spatial modelling, enabling the adoption of more advanced research methodologies and supporting the production of high-quality scientific outputs. The enhanced infrastructure will strengthen REMIT’s competitiveness in national and European funding programmes, expand international scientific collaboration, and increase the visibility and impact of the Unit’s research.

The project will also reinforce REMIT’s contribution to evidence-informed policymaking and sustainable territorial development by facilitating the collection, analysis and communication of scientific evidence related to climate change, cultural heritage and sustainable tourism. Through innovative digital dissemination tools, the investment will improve stakeholder engagement, strengthen collaboration with public authorities, industry and local communities, and promote wider public access to research results, directly supporting REMIT’s strategic priorities for knowledge dissemination, internationalisation and societal involvement.
