About - Who I am
Hello,
I am Samy Strola, expert consultant in Research & Innovation European projects.
Passionate about technological innovation, I accompanied numerous R&D projects over the past 15 years aimed at developing and implementing disruptive products and strategies.
Former Researcher in Physics, I worked in public and private organizations in Italy, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and France.
I progressively evolved towards project management, grant writing and funding management, with a clear focus on technological and innovation themes.
I focus on sustainability aspects with direct application in different domains such as environmental, nature-based solutions, soil pollution, green transition, low-carbon energies, materials science, circular economy, and healthcare.
Since September 2021, I operate as Independent Expert Consultant in Research & Innovation Projects proposing services for Innovation Funding & Grant Writing and Management of International Projects and Consortia. Since September 2024, I operate in parallel as In-House Consultant for r3 Environmental Technology.
Moreover, I am Scientific Expert for the Industrial Competitive Research and Social Development at MIUR Italy, Scientific Evaluator for several EU and National calls (AAL 2021 - Active Assisted Living Programme, EIT Manufacturing Call 2022, EIT UM Call 2024), Reviewer for Environmental Science and Pollution Research International, The Journal of Biomedical Optics, Royal Society of Chemistry Advances, Scientific Reports Nature Publishing Group.
Curious by nature and thirsty for knowledge, I will be glad to help you.
