Culture and research

Promoting culture, incentivising innovation and investing in research is for us a way of supporting the local community and the area in which we are an integral part.

Our group’s commitment in this area is proof of the awareness of corporate responsibility, also from a civil and social perspective, in the name of a role that is not fulfilled solely for economic purposes.

We promote our cultural and artistic heritage

From the early years of existence, we have committed to disseminating and promoting our cultural, architectural and documentary heritage.

Promotion of cultural activities of Civita, created to enhance Italian cultural and environmental heritage.

CMB Monaco supports some of the most important cultural and tourism institutions of Monaco.

Support for the preservation and opening to the public of our company documentary heritage.

Sharing of collections on the history of Italian and international economic analysis collected over the years by Enrico Cuccia, Vincenzo Maranghi and Ariberto Mignoli.

We support scientific and economic research

No less important is the attention to scientific and economic research which represents a core component of the group.

Economic area

Our most important project in the economic research area, the studies centre is specialised in economic-financial analysis and research. It shares useful industry publications and reports, completely free of charge, to both the scientific and professional community and to the non-specialist public.

Support for the activities of the Institute research and analysis on the global risks and opportunities for companies and institutions.

Support for the in-depth analysis of the current national and international economic and political issues and problems.

Scientific area

Through its Foundation, RAM Active Investments supports a number of institutions dedicated to medical and scientific research, including the ARTC - Association pour la Recherche sur les Tumeurs Cérébrales (research into brain tumours).

We are the founders and leading shareholder of the main private cancer centre in Italy which combines clinical and research activities. The IEO-CCM Foundation, which supports the research carried out by the Istituto Europeo di Oncologia and the Centro Cardiologico Monzino directly, has raised over €50m to support research from 2000 to the present date.

The Foundation’s mission is to contribute to the progress of medical science, primarily in the areas of oncology and cardiovascular disease, by providing grants to young researchers and for specific research projects.

We support the main specialist cardiology centre in Milan. In 2018, a total of €4.7 million was invested in cardiology research.
