Since its foundation, IRSA is structured in three units/laboratories located in Rome, Milan and Bari and cooperates with Ministries, Public Administrations, Agencies, Industries, SMEs and Research Institutions by performing innovative researches, pre-regulatory investigations, educational and training activities.
