Meta has chosen the Politecnico di Milano to carry out an independent academic study on the risks and opportunities of the #metaverse, as part of a project that involves Meta investing $2.5 million in Europe. In fact, thanks to the #XR Programs and Research Fund, academics from seven European countries, including Italy, will examine how metaverse technologies will interface on issues such as privacy, security, inclusion and the future of work.

It is estimated that the metaverse will lead to the creation of unprecedented assets, skills and professions, with a significant economic impact in global scenarios. However, the founding elements and critical success factors, as well as the tangible implications on the economy and society, are yet to be fully understood.
The study by the Politecnico, carried out by Giuliano Noci and Lucio Lamberti, wants to analyse the economic weight and social value of the metaverse, framing its emergence in a systemic perspective: its impact on individuals, society and the economy will be mapped using Italy as a practical case study.
