IRPPS, with the Viva project, has published the results of the national survey on centers for men who use violence (CUAV). The Viva project represents an important piece of the socio-cultural change necessary to combat gender-based violence.
In September, the research group involved in the VIVA project (Evaluation and Analysis of interventions for the prevention and combating of violence against women) participated in important opportunities for discussion with the scientific community, sharing perspectives and results as a starting point for upcoming qualitative investigations on the empowerment of women victims of violence and on Centers for perpetrators of violence.
Two posters were presented at the European Conference on Domestic Violence (ECDV) in Reykjavik.
The first – Networking to prevent and combat male violence against women by Francesca Proia, Maria Dentale, Pietro Demurtas, Alice Mauri – presents data relating to the analysis of the Italian anti-violence system as a complex and diversified universe.

The second – Defining the effectiveness of perpetrator programs from a practice-based perspective by Pietro Demurtas and Caterina Peroni – shows some of the results of the recently completed survey on Centers for Male Perpetrators of Violence (CUAV).

The journal Welfare e Ergonomia was established within the Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies of the National Research Council (CNR). It is published by FrancoAngeli and funded by the CNR Department of Social Sciences and Humanities and Cultural Heritage.
Since November 18, 2022, ANVUR has recognized it as a Class A scientific journal for Area 14 (Political and Social Sciences).
The journal, published in both print and digital formats on a biannual basis, focuses on thematic issues. Since 2020, it has also included an open section to accommodate innovative and thought-provoking contributions related to ongoing scientific debates or the historical context. Since its launch in 2015, Welfare e Ergonomia has adopted a double-blind peer-review process. The IRPPS’s mission guides the selection of topics addressed by the journal, in consultation with its editorial bodies.
The journal was founded in 2015 by Antonella Ciocia, who served as its director until 2024. Starting in 2019, following the collaboration between the CNR and the University, the directorship has been shared with Mara Tognetti Bordogna (University of Milan). In 2024, for IRPPS, the directorship passed to Pietro Demurtas and Anna Milione.

The project addresses the study of relationships between recent demographic trends and social behaviors and aims to advance knowledge of their mutual connections, formulate interpretative hypotheses of current behaviors, and provide useful elements to guide policy interventions by decision-makers. The transformations that have occurred in the population structure, the need to support women’s participation in the labor market, the phenomenon of violence against women, the evolution of gender relations, immigration from non-EU countries, and the need to promote interest in scientific research among the population, especially young people, are all relevant aspects from a social, political, and economic perspective in relation to ongoing changes and the impact they will have on our society. It is therefore important to continue exploring these issues through specific studies and the development of new analytical methods and intervention tools.
INVFactor: You’re a Genius Too! is a CNR-IRPPS project dedicated to “young inventors” with the aim of channeling, stimulating, and enhancing the insights and creative energies acquired during school education by Italian boys and girls. The initiative was implemented in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016, receiving widespread participation from Italian secondary schools and producing a strong media impact. The 2017 edition of INVFactor is funded by the European Commission.
| To provide visibility and enhance inventions created in the school environment by young people; to raise awareness among young people to pursue scientific careers; to reduce the influence of social stereotypes on the scientific world and on scientists. |
The project – resulting from the Collaboration Agreement signed between the Department for Equal Opportunities of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and the Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies of the National Research Council, concerning the Analysis and evaluation of interventions for the prevention and combating of violence against women – has an expected duration of 36 months starting from April 11, 2022.
It is structured into two main areas of intervention:
The purpose of the first area is to contribute, through action-research activities, to the planning and
implementation of measures for the prevention and combating of violence against women. In particular, the
various activities envisaged therein are aimed at promoting:
This area consists of the following working packages (WP):
The purpose of this area is to evaluate the capacity of the previous National Strategic Plan on male violence against women 2017-2020 and the new National Strategic Plan on male violence against women 2021-2023 to achieve the planned strategic interventions.
