The scientific and organizational structure of the Leone XIV International Study Center is articulated through a series of committees and functions that collaborate in defining, evaluating, and implementing the Center’s cultural, academic, and institutional activities. Bringing their composition together on a single page makes it possible to highlight the network of expertise supporting the Center’s mission, offering readers a clear, transparent, and integrated view of the people involved.
The committees operate in constant dialogue with the Augustinian Community of Santo Spirito and with the national and international academic and cultural world, ensuring scientific quality, strong local engagement, and openness to global perspectives.
Alongside the committees, the Secretariat Staff ensures the administrative, organizational, IT, and communication coordination of the Center, supporting daily activities and facilitating relations between the governing bodies and the scientific community.
