She collaborates with institutions like the Joint Research Centre and contributes to policy analyses via microsimulation tools.

Notable grants include leadership in the Age-IT PNRR project (€M scale), participation in EU's SHARE-M4 initiative, and involvement in PRIN grants. Her work often involves international teams, addressing regional disparities and policy targeting efficiency.
