Davide Emanuele Iannace
PhD student at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” and the CNR-IrCRES of Rome and visiting researcher at the Center of Classic and Humanities Studies of the University of Coimbra, under the supervision of professor Delfim Leão. His current topic of research is the evaluation of the impacts of European research infrastructures in the ESFRI landscape.
He has a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a master’s degree in Applied Social Science at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. He also obtained a second level master’s degree in political sciences and international Relationships at the LUMSA University of Rome.
Currently, he is involved as researcher in the PALOMERA project with the Coimbra’s unit. He is also editor-in-chief of the small webzine Eurobull.it, part of “Le Taurillon” network.
His research interests focus on innovation studies – in particular, open science, infrastructures in the SSH, evaluation and impact analysis -, applied social network analysis, studies on rural and regional policies regarding new development and innovative strategies for sustainability.

Plano de investigação
My visiting period at the Centre of Classical and Humanistic Studies is part of the doctoral programme at the Sapienza University of Rome and at the CNR-IrCRES of Rome. I conduct the research under Dr Emanuela Reale’s (CNR-IrCRES) supervision. Its title is “The impact evaluation of research infrastructures in Europe: the ESFRI Landscape and the DARIAH and OPERAS cases”.
The research analyses the impacts the infrastructures can have on local institutions. This research aims to understand if infrastructures in the SSH field can foster innovation, new opportunities for researchers and the capacity to create new opportunities for cooperation between policymakers, scholars, and local stakeholders.
Using qualitative interviews, social network analysis and impact evaluation methodologies, the research aims to improve our knowledge of SSH infrastructures and how we can critically reflect on their work. The cases selected are DARIAH and OPERAS, both part of the ESFRI project and both present in Italy and Portugal.
The two infrastructures are currently in very different moments of their life, and they offer a perfect way to understand early and mature development in the SSH infrastructures, their challenges and the opportunities they could offer to researchers, as users and evaluators.
