The CENTER for GLOBAL STUDIES & Applied Sciences, established within the VR Corporatenext ecosystem as a hub for interdisciplinary, strategic, and structured analysis, aims to understand and develop concrete solutions to key nodes of global transformation in Economic, Technological, Security and Defence-related, Health, Environmental, and Industrial scenarios.

Its core mission is to deliver actionable intelligence, policy frameworks, and predictive models to support enterprises, Institutions, and decision-makers navigating complex transitions in the global system. The Center adopts a methodology based on applied research, data-driven insights, scenario-building, and cross-institutional collaboration.

Its objective is to generate operational knowledge and forward-looking strategic capacity, bridging the gap between Science, Economics, and Governance.

PREDICTIVE AND INTEGRATED FUTURE
Risk in the Anthropogenic Age
Author: Giovambattista Scuticchio Foderaro
May, 2025

In an increasingly complex, interconnected, and volatile world, risk prevention technologies in 2025 are no longer confined to siloed domains or reactive interventions. Instead, they constitute an evolving architecture of predictive intelligence, real-time analytics, and systemic integration. Threats such as pandemics, cyberwarfare, geopolitical instability, environmental collapse, and technological disruption are no longer hypothetical or localized - they are polycrises that challenge the very fabric of global security and sustainability. Accordingly, the field of risk prevention has moved decisively toward proactive, adaptive, and data-rich ecosystems, leveraging the exponential capabilities of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, geospatial intelligence, and synthetic environments.​

SHIFTING FRONTIERS
A Technical Analysis of Global Security Dynamics in Q1 2025
Author: Giovambattista Scuticchio Foderaro
May, 2025

In the first quarter of 2025, global security dynamics continued to exhibit the familiar contours of great-power competition even as entirely new theatres of contestation emerged. By weaving together traditional metrics - troop posture, defence budgets - with cutting-edge indicators such as quantum-hardened communications, AI-augmented cyber-defences and hypersonic strike capabilities, the Global Security and Defence Index (GSDI) settled at 74.2/100. This analysis unfolds across six interlinked pillars - strategic readiness, budget intensity, cyber capability, alliance integration, regional threat dynamics and technological modernization - before reassessing regional variances and anticipating the principal vectors that will shape Q2 2025.​

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK . April 2025
A Scientific Macroeconomic Analysis of the Global Index
Author: Giovambattista Scuticchio Foderaro
April, 2025

April 2025 marks a pivotal juncture for the global economy, characterized by a dynamic interplay between post-inflationary recovery, technological transition, geopolitical realignment, and the restructuring of global value chains. Within this complex scenario, an in-depth analysis of the Global Economic Index is crucial for understanding the direction of international economic trends and anticipating both systemic and localized macroeconomic implications.

BACK TO THE PROSPECTIVE MEDICINE

Phytotherapy in Integrative Oncology: Scientific Rationale, Clinical Transition, and Global Healthcare Implications

Author: Larisa Reihl Arthurovna Galiandina
June, 2025

In the era of molecular oncology and precision medicine, a significant subset of cancer patients increasingly turns to complementary and integrative therapies, particularly phytotherapy, seeking relief from the toxicities of standard care and a more holistic approach to health.

This phenomenon, observed globally, challenges both public and private healthcare systems to adapt to patient-centred paradigms without compromising scientific rigour.

This article analyses phytotherapy in oncology through a technical lens, evaluating molecular mechanisms, clinical evidence, and its potential role in transforming both high-resource and resource-constrained healthcare settings.

Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and the Global Future of Work: A Tectonic Transformation
Author: Mario Catini
May, 2025

The global labor market is undergoing a profound and multifaceted transformation, catalyzed by the demographic shift of aging populations and the accelerating deployment of advanced technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. The OECD estimates that by 2030, over 20% of the population in developed countries will be above 65 years of age, resulting in persistent labor shortages. Meanwhile, emerging and developing economies face heterogeneous challenges: some, like China and South Korea, are experiencing early demographic stagnation, while others, notably in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, must accommodate large and growing youth populations.

DIGITAL ECONOMY STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION . A First-Quarter 2025 Analysis
Author: Davide Norini Dossi
April, 2025

The Digital Economy has reached a pivotal stage. What was once a disruptive force is now a structural pillar of the global economic architecture. The first quarter of 2025 confirms that digital transformation is no longer a future trend but a present and defining reality. The following analysis explores, through a technical lens and updated data, how the digitalization of finance, labor markets, and business models is reshaping our economic systems and what challenges and opportunities lie ahead.
