Stefano Battiston is a leading expert in the areas of economic and financial networks, systemic risk, and sustainable finance, as reflected in several top-journal publications and EU project coordination awards. His scientific background in complex systems, combined with 15 years of research in economics and finance, put him in a unique position to understand policy issues both from a quantitative and holistic perspective. The societal and policy relevance of his research is reflected in durable dialogues with a vast network of contacts with policymaking institutions and stakeholders. In the recent years, he has been leading a group of 10+ people among researchers and administrative staff. His ambition is to expand further his innovative research program on complex financial networks and sustainability and to mainstream it in the scientific community, teaching programs and among practitioners.
