For the specific purpose of discussing and disseminating the main features of the Penal Law and its application in the national context, in 2006 the Siracusa Institute established a new internal body – the Regional Scientific Committee or Consiglio Scientifico Regionale (CSR) – which has the task of promoting and coordinating scientific conferences, seminars, pilot projects and studies in Sicily. The Committee is composed of around 20 specialists including magistrates, lawyers, prosecutors, and professors who have contributed in many ways to Siracusa Institute’s scientific activities.
