CNR: National Council of Research
The work of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche is divided into 11 interdisciplinary departments which deal with the inherent issues in the scientific, technological, economic, and social development of the nation. CNR is organized into research institutes with seats in different regions of Italy. In Piemonte, there are 14 different institutions with primary and non-primary seats working in 5 main research areas; in each of these sectors, there are various levels of research spanning from the more strictly scientific to methodology, all the way to instrumental and applicative.

ENEA - Saluggia Research Centre
ENEA, Agency for New Technology, Energy, and the Environment, is a public research agency which operates in the fields of energy, the environment, and new technology in support of the country’s competitiveness and sustainable development policies. The Agency carries out activities of scientific research and technological development availing itself of its own multidisciplinary abilities and advanced infrastructure installations and the tools at its own Research Centres located throughout Italy. The ENEA Research Centre in Saluggia has had a presence in Piemonte since the ‘60’s and, at the end of the ‘80’s, it took on a multidisciplinary character when it began research activities concerning not only the energy sector, but also environmental monitoring and management and optimizing the management of the productive processes with an eye toward sustainability.

INFN: National Institute of Nuclear Physics
The National Institute of Nuclear Physics, under the Ministry of Universities and Scientific and Technological Research deals with basic research in the physics of particles, astro-particles, and nuclear particles both theoretically as well as experimentally. The Torino branch carries out institutional research activities mostly at the CERN in Geneva, but also at other laboratories in Germany, the United States, and Argentina. These activities have led to acquiring skills at the home office, in particular in the field of Calcolo Parallelo Intensivo (GRID Computing), in control of oncology treatment using gamma radiotherapy and heavy ions (CNAO), dosimeters for medical physics, and the construction of super light structures resistant to radiation.

INRIM: National Institute of Metrology Research
INRIM is a public research institute, under the National Ministry of Universities and Research. It was established on January 1, 2006, through the fusion of the “Galileo Ferraris” (National Electrotechnical Institute) of CNR and the “Gustavo Colonnetti” Istituto di Metrologia (Institute of Metrology). The agency carries out the work of primary metrological institute and represents Italy for the metrology of its competence, in the Italian and European contest. It carries out advanced research in the scientific fields of measurement, materials, and innovative technology.
