The CRID- Interdepartmental Research Center on Discrimination and Vulnerability since 2016 has proposed itself as a “place” for discussion between knowledge practiced by professors from various departments (Law, Engineering “Enzo Ferrari,” Economics “Marco Biagi”). The Center collaborates with organizations, associations, institutions in the analysis of different forms of vulnerability and discrimination (including those “invisible” or emerging in digital contexts).
Coordinator: Prof. Thomas Casadei

Among the many activities of the Center, the following stand out as most relevant to research activity:
On the international research side, Prof. Gianfrancesco Zanetti is Editor of the “History of Philosophy of Law” section of the Encyclopedia of the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy (general eds. M. Sellers, S. Kriste, Berlin, Springer 2020: http://www.crid.unimore.it/site/home/archivio-progetti/articolo1065040653.html).
The section consists of over 300 entries written by scholars and scholars from the various areas of the planet. Connected to the Encyclopedia is the publication of the volume Gf. Zanetti, Th. Casadei, “Handbook of Philosophy of Law. Figures, Categories, Contexts” (Giappichelli 2019, n.e. 2020; publication of the work in Castilian is planned for 2022).
CRID members involved: Prof. Gianfrancesco Zanetti, Prof. Thomas Casadei, Prof. Gianluigi Fioriglio, Dr. Serena Vantin.
The Observatory on the system of welcoming migrants in the Modena territory is a project developed in collaboration with Porta Aperta, ARCI Modena, CEIS and Comunità l'Angolo, funded for two years (2019-2021) by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Modena.
By documenting the presence of migrant people in the Modena area and their path of inclusion from a social and legal point of view, the Observatory aims to evaluate, document and disseminate welcoming pathways, modeling intervention methods that, proving fruitful, may be susceptible to transferability.
In this perspective, all forms of vulnerability that affect migrant subjects are also examined and documented, not only at the origin or during the migratory path (think, for example, of women victims of trafficking), but also at the end, in the host territories themselves (think, from this point of life, of the procedures through which international protection is recognized or forms of exploitation in the labor sphere).
The Observatory aims to monitor the reception capacity in terms of services, opportunities, needs of the urban context with specific attention to the following areas: housing, work, associative networks and language learning.

The series - directed by Thomas Casadei (Unimore) and Stefano Pietropaoli (Unisa) - hosts studies dedicated to the relationship between law, computation and complexity and, more generally, to the links between legal experience and new technologies.
The aim of COMP.LEX is to promote debate on fundamental issues that contemporary law and institutions are called upon to address: artificial intelligence, e-Health, data privacy, digital freedom and citizenship, right of access (and digital divide), autonomous driving, net neutrality, blockchain, smart contracts, cyberwarfare, robotics, global surveillance, and the impact of the network on social relations and individual identities.
