CSP plays a leading role in industrial research projects, agreements and cooperation with public corporations, local administrations and large private businesses - locally, nationally and internationally.

CSP’s local dimension is characterised by trials and technological transfers of innovative solutions and project development as part of long-term programmes focused on experimental themes.
These activities are developed in the framework of Conventions and long-term agreements sustained by local Public Administrations – at regional, provincial and local community levels.

Nationally, CSP is very involved in technological transfers and trials of innovative solutions as part of Public Administration conventions throughout the country with project partnerships ranging from regional to ministerial.

Internationally, CSP participates in projects that are EC co-financed as well as taking part in associations and work groups to help spread innovation and development of a European basis for Public Administrations.

CSP has represented Regione Piemonte, in ERIS@, the Innovative European Regions network, up to the end of IRISI project in december 2007. CSP participates in the IANIS+ project, the main European network of regions involved in diffusing the Information Society.
