About Us

The Institutional Studies Center (CESTI) is an online Catholic-inspired working group born from the desire to create a space for reflection, analysis, and dialogue on the great changes that characterize our era. Our mission is to explore with intellectual openness the continuous innovations of modern times, promoting a constructive debate that can combine tradition and progress.

Founded by a group of people united by their passion for social, cultural, and institutional dynamics, CESTI presents itself as an independent and non-partisan think tank. Our Catholic identity constitutes the value compass that guides our reflections, while maintaining an inclusive approach open to dialogue with all cultural and religious sensitivities. Our uniqueness lies in our ability to analyze contemporary phenomena through a multidisciplinary perspective that integrates different competencies: from sociology to economics, from law to political science, from philosophy to theology, from technology to environmental sciences.

Our daily commitment is guided by the conviction that the complexity of the contemporary world requires a constant effort of understanding and interpretation, and that only through dialogue and discussion is it possible to build adequate responses to the challenges of our time. We invite all those who share this vision to join our journey of research and reflection, to contribute together to building a better future.
