The Institute of Sciences of Food Production (Ispa) of the National Research Council of Italy has the scientific coordination of this project, aimed at developing a benign, efficient and environmentally friendly biorefinery process by focusing on specific agricultural waste streams such as olive, grape shoots and leaves, chicory, and onion residues. The ultimate goal is to obtain new functional polyphenol-based bioactives 

Cnr-Iriss invites researchers and practitioners to submit a paper to the session "Value co-creation in networks" within the 5th European Conference on Social Networks (EUSN 2021), Naples, 7-10 September 2021.The session offers a unique platform to discuss recent progresses in the analysis of value co-creation in customers-suppliers interactions, in service co-design processes and in multi-actor engagement for collaborative management within and among service networks, comprising port- logistics, tourism destinations, cultural heritage, and others service industries

The third edition of the chem2Dmat International Conference is organized by the National Research Council of Italy, Phantoms Foundation (Spain), Technische Universität Dresden (Germany) and Université de Strasbrourg (France). The Conference will cover all areas related to 2D materials' chemistry spanning their synthesis as well as their functionalization, using covalent and non-covalent approaches, for composites, foams and coatings, membranes, (bio-)sensing, (electro- and photo-)catalysis, energy conversion, harvesting and storage, electronics, nanomedicine, biomaterials

High-tech scanning techniques used by geologists, planetary scientists, drug companies and the military are revealing secrets of how artists created their masterpieces. Amongst these scientists, also Marcello Picollo, a researcher at the Cnr Institute of Applied Physics "Nello Carrara" in Florence, as the New York Times reports

Researchers of the Institute on Membrane Technology of the National Research Council of Italy, in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh and Cardiff University synthesized and characterized a novel, highly permeability polymer, which could significantly improve the industrial process of gas mixtures separation, in the energy and environmental sectors

The National Research Council of Italy is partner of the consortium of companies and research institutes selected by European Commission to study the design of the future European quantum communication network, EuroQCI (quantum communication infrastructure). It will enable ultra-secure communication between critical infrastructures and government institutions across the European Union

Researchers of the Institute of Structure of Matter (Ism) of the National Research Council of Italy have demonstrated a new paradigm for molecular functionalizion of semiconductor surfaces by preparing stable, ordered arrays of organic molecules on silicon. Using N-heterocyclic carbenes with customized electronic and geometrical properties, the team have shown that self-assembled growth of single molecular layers can be achieved, opening up new possibilities in semiconductor technologies

The European project "SensApp", coordinated by the CNR Institute of Applied Sciences and Intelligent Systems, towards a groundbreaking diagnostics for the Alzheimer’s disease through a routine blood sample. EU project SensApp brings together several scientific groups from across Europe to collaborate on the development of a super-sensor, which could enable a new, more humane way for Alzheimer’s disease discovery and continuous monitoring. Currently, preclinical detection of the disease requires a painful lumbar puncture to observe unusual protein levels in the patient’s cerebrospinal fluid

A study led by National Research Council of Italy – Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (Cnr-Isac) and the Politecnico di Torino – Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI) shows that the uncertainty in the prediction of climate change over Europe strongly depends on the response of the North Atlantic ocean currents to the increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gases

Within the STRENCH Project  (Strengthening resilience of cultural heritage at risk in a changing environment through proactive transnational cooperation), two on line events are organized in order to enhancing the resilience of cultural heritage at risk in a changing environment. Cnr-Isac is among the partners of the project

Oscillatory and rotational motions of different parts are combined in a newly conceived artificial  molecule, paving the way for the construction of devices capable of transforming and transmitting  movements on the nanometer scale. The nanodevice was designed, synthesized and tested by a team of  researchers of the University of Bologna led by Massimo Baroncini and Alberto Credi. This is a result of  the Center for Light Activated Nanostructures (Clan), a joint laboratory between the University and Cnr Isof in Bologna. The study is published by the prestigious journal Chem 

The Italian Covid Data Portal aims to display the scientific data produced nationally on Covid-19 and Sars-Cov-2 and promote their open sharing. Developed by Elixir-it, the Italian node of the European bioinformatics and biological data infrastructure coordinated by the National Research Council, it aims to foster broader collaboration among researchers. The portal represents the Italian branch of the portal established at the European Commission’s invitation by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and other partners

Cnr-Isa is amongst the research partners of 'Stance4Health', a project funded by European Union’s Horizon 2020 with tha aim of developing a complete Smart Personalized Nutrition (SPN) service based on the use of mobile technologies as well as tailored food production that will optimize the gut microbiota activity and long-term consumer engagement

A pandemic is a natural catastrophic event, a gigantic, prolonged "earthquake": unpredictable, but with the certainty that sooner or later it will happen, yielding devastating health and socio-economic effects. What we are learning from the Covid-19 "earthquake"? The website promoted by the Department of Biomedical Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy (Cnr-Dsb) is facing some big questions about the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

Foresight is a interdepartmental project of the National Research Council of Italy, aimed at elaborating coherent research strategies and addressing socially relevant problems related to environment, health, food, enery, security and transportation

The Cnr-Spin Institute launched a website aimed at understanding the current pandemic and providing support to scientists, policy makers and society at its large, by comparing and interpreting publicly available data with an original approach
