About

LAURA CASERTA graduated with a History Degree from the University of Bologna, she now lives and works in Rome after several working experiences abroad.

Three major professional activities that led her to own a number of articulated skills with a strong common set of singular wealth.

Apparently distant from one another, these activities actually have a strong ethical and cultural root that is: a passion for building an efficient and meritocratic society where institutions and the productive world create social well-being.

After a degree in Humanities, she specializes in Security-related topics starting from a Masters degree in Intelligence & Security, followed by a specialization with the Association of Certified Fraud Examiner (ACFE) and a Bocconi University’s Competitive Intelligence course: skills that she exerts over the years, on behalf of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Consip and Sogei. At the same time, she builds a network of institutional ties with the European Commission through the ESRIF Committee where she is named “champion” regarding “financial criminality”.

Over the years, economic-related activities intensify as a civil servant in the Ministry of Economics, she successfully explores the world of European Funding programs. Partly out of curiosity and partly out of a natural approach, ahead of everyone else, she identifies the importance of European Funding as one of the inevitable assets for companies’ security-related needs but also to foster business development, by winning two major Funding bids in only six months.

She also dedicates her skills to SMEs and the Free Professional Surveyors with which she collaborates through the Bolstering the Business of Liberal Professions’ Technical Desks commissioned by Commissioner Antonio Tajani at the European Commission level dedicated to the theme of Free Professions.

She then involves Free Professionals, Entrepreneurs and Professional Associations, in particular Surveyors, for whom she follows the funding process linked to Horizon 2020 and COSME by winning a financing request for them.

Important experiences that led to the expansion of institutional, political and economic contacts networks at all levels in Italy and abroad.

To better understand the dynamics and logic, the technical aspects of international negotiating, for a short time, she has taken the role of trade union representative.

She also often writes articles for industry papers and participates as a speaker in debates on topics of specific relevance such as European Funding, National Security, and Technological Innovation. She has been a member of “Il Chiostro” association for the transparency of lobbies and a member of the Advisory Board of RECOBIA, a project funded by the European Commission.
