European infrastructures (ESFRI)

European research infrastructures in which the University is involved

This category includes research infrastructures that are part of the ESFRI roadmap which i) have their headquarters or nodes in Italy; ii) are based in other EU countries with Italian participation and contributions in kind by Italian bodies and industries. These infrastructures have operational links with the territory in which they are only located or from which contributions in kind originate and, precisely for this reason, they are linked with intelligent specialization of the territories themselves.

National infrastructures

This category includes national research infrastructures with an international outlook and research facilities with a recognized role in national or international networks. They have strong links with the territory in which they are located and can be counted among the major drivers of their smart specialisation strategy.
