CIRESS is an institution aiming at promoting activities and many-sided exchanges among both young and less young scholars. Such activities and exchanges are meant to support that awareness, open-mindedness and critical attitude that can guarantee, beyond specific expertises, a sound understanding of scientific-historical events and of modern understanding processes.

CIRESS was founded in 1985 by Alberto Pasquinelli, Professor of Philosophy of Science, and it was entitled to Federigo Enriques since 1988.
