The General Conference of the Future Artificial Intelligence Research Project (FAIR), funded with €114.5 million by the Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR) under the PNRR, was held in Rome from December 10 to 12, 2025. Launched in 2023 and coordinated by the National Research Council (CNR), the project involves 350 researchers across Italy and brings together 25 public and private partners.

The meeting organized by the Professional Association of Accountants of Trento and Rovereto highlighted that productivity and growth stem from research, innovation, and new local supply chains. With more than 30% of projects combining local companies and international partners, FBK remains a key player in the development of the Trentino system.

From the RaiNews Futuro24 episode filmed at the Foundation to coverage on artificial intelligence for public administration, and advances in neuroscience, meteorology, history, and cybersecurity: these are the FBK initiatives that made headlines in November

Fondazione Bruno Kessler and Consorzio Trentino AI have signed a collaboration agreement aimed at strengthening the role of Artificial Intelligence as a lever for the growth and innovation of the local area. The partnership combines FBK's research capacity with the industrial experience of the Consortium companies, consolidating a stable bridge between research, application, and impact on the local area.

November 6 the initiatives for the digital transition of the region carried out under the Flagship Project were presented — 20 million euros from the PNC for four areas of intervention. In Trentino, another 1,254 projects from the PNRR amount to 40 million euros.

An important recognition at ForumPA 2025 for the project led by the Autonomous Province of Trento, with FBK as a key research partner. The goal: not an occasional but a structural adoption of artificial intelligence within the public administration system, particularly to support decision-making processes.
