I am Massimo Gabellone, cultural manager and applied researcher in the field of cultural and territorial development, with particular focus on the Western Balkans and EU project design.

My areas of expertise and research include: - EU Project Design and management (€15.7 million in secured funding across various programs) - Cross-border cooperation and best practices in international cultural cooperation - Applied research in cultural policy design and territorial development - Capacity building for cultural professionals in the Western Balkans region I have had the opportunity to collaborate extensively in Serbia and the broader Balkan region, including partnerships with universities and research institutions, always focusing on the intersection between academic research and practical implementation.
