CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE DELLE RICERCHE

CNR is Italy’s national public research organization with broad disciplinary scope, operating a network of institutes and laboratories distributed across the country. For industry, CNR provides contract research, joint laboratories, and access to testbeds, field stations, and pilot‑scale facilities, many co‑located with universities and regional innovation districts. A centralized engagement team streamlines NDAs, sponsored research, and collaboration frameworks, while institute‑level offices enable partnerships with local supply chains. Research is supported by competitive European Commission programs and Italian national ministries. A dedicated technology transfer office manages IP, licensing, and spinoff creation.
