Institute for the Study of Nanostructured Materials (ISMN-CNR)
Montelibretti (ROME), Strada Provinciale 35/d n. 9, Italy
The Institute for the Study of Nanostructured Materials is an institute of the National Research Council, the largest public research institution in Italy.
Cnr’s mission is to carry out, disseminate and promote research activities in the main fields of knowledge, through an organization that crosses the seven thematic Departments and research institutes spread throughout the national territory.
ISMN-CNR is a research institute belonging to the Department of Chemical Sciences and Materials Technologies: the Institute's headquarter is located in the Rome 1 Research Area of Montelibretti, while the branches offices are located in Bologna, Palermo and at the University of Rome Sapienza and the University of Messina.
The ISMN has about 90 employees (about 70 researchers) and to achieve its objectives the Institute integrates enabling and transversal technologies that include advanced materials, photonics, nanotechnology, biotechnology and advanced chemical and manufacturing processes.
