Overview

CNR- Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche - Area della Ricerca Roma 1
Via Salaria Km. 29.300 - Monterotondo (Roma)

The National Research Council of Italy (CNR) is a public organization; its duty is to carry out, promote, spread, transfer and improve research activities in the main sectors of knowledge growth and of its applications for the scientific, technological, economic and social development of the Country.
To this end, the activities of the organization are divided into macro areas of interdisciplinary scientific and technological research, concerning several sectors: biotechnology, medicine, molecular design, materials, environment and land, information and communications, advanced systems of production, socio-economic sciences, classical studies and arts.

CNR is distributed all over Italy through a network of institutes aiming at promoting a wide diffusion of its competences throughout the national territory and at facilitating contacts and cooperation with local firms and organizations. From the financial point of view, the main resources come from the State, but also from the market: even 30% of its balance sheet, an extraordinary result, is the result of revenues coming from external job orders for studies and activities of technical advice as well as from agreements with firms, contracts with the European Union and with the other international organizations.

15 CNR Research Institutes belong to the Research Area Rome 1, involving 500 people focused on R&D activities in materials science, molecular design, agro-food, cultural heritages, environment and biochemistry.

The Institute to visit
The research activities of the Institute of Nanostructured Materials (ISMN-CNR) focus on the development of nanostructured materials and nanotechnologies such as semiconductors for optoelectronic and photonic, environmental catalysis, surfaces functionalisation, biomolecules for biosensor applications and bioelectronic devices.

The visit
- Overview of researchs on nanostructured materials at ISMN
- Visit to labs of synthesis of nanosystems and deposition of nanostructured surfaces and coatings
- Visit to labs of diagnostic and chemico-physical characterization
