Fulvio Biddau is a social scientist with a multidisciplinary background, holding a MSc in Social Psychology (major in environmental and community psychology) and a PhD in Social Sciences from the University of Padova. He joined  CMCC’s Risk Assessment and Adaptation Strategies division in October 2024 as ‘climate resilience researcher’ contributing to the EU-funded projects CLIMAAX, ARCADIA, and NATURANCE. His work and research interests focus on the social and human dimensions of climate mitigation and adaptation, particularly on citizen and stakeholder engagement, social acceptance, and justice related to climate policies and innovations. More recently, at CMCC, his research has expanded to participatory assessments of climate risks and vulnerabilities, adaptation planning and the acceptance of nature-based solutions.

Before joining CMCC, Fulvio was a postdoctoral researcher and adjunct professor at the University of Padova, where he taught environmental psychology and research methods in social psychology while conducting research on the socio-political acceptance of renewable energies and the phase-out of fossil fuels.
