From May 5 to June 29, INFN staff will be able to submit technological development proposals to be funded through the new INFN initiative dedicated to technology transfer and the enhancement of research Co-Innovation, Networking, and Technological Development are the keywords of INFN CONNECT, the new...
The perspective of Manuel Rolo, INFN researcher and member of the National Committee for Technology Transfer When problems exceed the boundaries of the known, incremental innovation is not enough: it is necessary to create the unprecedented, even without the certainty that a solution is possible. The...
How plasma physics can improve industrial sterilization processes At the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud, scientific excellence and technology transfer converge toward new solutions for industry. It is from this perspective that the INFN-Tetra Pak collaboration took shape, aimed at developing advanced monitoring systems for sterilization processes...
A good idea alone does not generate innovation. It is the necessary foundation, but it represents only the beginning of a journey that can be quite long, leading the idea from the laboratory where it was created to its diffusion in society. When an idea...
The meeting represented a moment of synthesis not only for the scientific results achieved but also for the significant impact generated by the project on the entrepreneurial fabric. The concluding event of KM3NeT4RR was held on February 23, 2026, at the Benedictine Monastery of San Nicolò...
Basic scientific research increasingly requires high-level technological solutions, and INFN, which has always been a reference point for fundamental physics, also positions itself as a producer and supplier of cutting-edge technologies. However, the link between INFN and high tech is not limited to pure research, but...
