The Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) is a no-profit, no-partisan research institution established to carry out research in the field of sustainable development. Recognised by the President of the Italian Republic in July 1989, it has since become a leading international research centre. One of its principal aims is to promote interaction between academic, industrial and public policy spheres in order to comprehensively address concerns about economic development and environmental degradation. FEEM circulates a series of working papers in English collecting the output of research in the field of economics, energy and the environment and the presentations made at international workshops and congresses. FEEM's Note di Lavoro are classified into the following series:
