Open Lab
In keeping with the best experiences in other European countries, AREA Science Park is putting together an Open Lab dedicated to innovative materials, a sector in which the science park can boast extensive experience. Open Lab aims to support industrial competitiveness and serve as a venue where the scientific and business worlds can work together to develop research and technological innovation projects.
It is housed in a facility that complements and completes the scientific and technical equipment available in major labs such as those of Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, Fermi Elettra and the Institute for Materials Manufacturing (IOM) of the CNR. It is multidisciplinary in nature, and thus suitable for industrial projects relying on experience in physics, chemical, life sciences, and advanced materials.
Open Lab is targeted at the subset of the manufacturing sectors whose competitiveness revolves around technical and scientific innovation. It makes available cutting-edge skills and instruments and participates in experimenting with new technologies that may be useful in advancing research and development for products and manufacturing processes.
AVAILABLE INSTRUMENTS
THE PROJECT PARTNERS
(Project coordinator)
AREA Science Park makes available its infrastructure and staff to support the development of business innovation and provide technical and scientific assistance in carrying out research and technology transfer projects.
Institute for Materials Manufacturing of the National Research Council of Italy
(CNR-IOM)
IOM is the project’s scientific director, and makes available laboratory resources for the synthesis and characterization of advanced materials and for the micro- and nano-construction of electromechanical and biomedical devices. Its strengths lie in the fields of materials physics and chemistry, and the functionalization and nano-structuring of surfaces and interfaces for nano-biotechnologies.
Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste
Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste serves as a liaison with the local industrial sector, and makes available its laboratory resources and research facilities. Its technological and scientific skills lie in the field of materials science, and its activities include the study and design of instruments and equipment.
