Cecilia Zanazzo

Cecilia Zanazzo is the project Manager of ELIAS – the European Lighthouse of AI for Sustainability – a Horizon Europe initiative dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence solutions that support sustainable innovation and economic development. In this role, she works at the intersection of research, innovation, and strategic project coordination, supporting technology transfer, AI-driven innovation, and the effective translation of scientific results into real-world impact. She contributes to organizing a Network of Excellence that connects academic researchers with industry practitioners to position Europe as a region where AI research contributes to a sustainable future, fosters societal cohesion, and respects individual preferences and rights.

Cecilia is also the Coordinator of the ELLIS Unit Trento, hosted by the University of Trento and the Bruno Kessler Foundation, where she facilitates collaboration across institutions engaged in cutting-edge, multidisciplinary AI research. The unit focuses on foundational and applied challenges in machine learning, computer vision, remote sensing, and natural language processing.

With a background in economics, management, and organizational studies, Cecilia is particularly interested in bridging academia and management, strengthening knowledge valorisation practices, and promoting responsible, human-centered AI across Europe.
