The National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) represents the peak of Italy’s commitment in the cutting-edge sectors of subnuclear, nuclear and astroparticle physics. Fundamental research in these sectors requires the use of the very latest research technologies and tools that the INFN develops in its laboratories and in collaboration with the industrial world. The Institute also promotes the transfer of skills, methodologies and instrumental techniques developed as part of its activity to different research fields such as medicine, cultural heritage and the environment.
