Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche
Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR)
The Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche – National Research Council of Italy (CNR) was founded as legal person on 18 November 1923 (Royal Decree 2440/1923). The mission of CNR, defined in the first Statute of 1924, is to coordinate and stimulate research activity at a national level in the different areas of science, to keep in contact with various stakeholders on scientific matters and to establish national scientific laboratories. More than 8000 people work in the 88 research institutes of CNR.
Five of the 88 research institutes are involved in EMBRC-IT:
1) Istituto per lo studio degli impatti Antropici e Sostenibilità in ambiente marino – Institute for the Study of Anthropic Impact and Sustainability in the Marine Environment (IAS);
2) Istituto di Scienze Polari – Institute of Polar Sciences (ISP);
3) Istituto per le Risorse BIologiche e le biotecnologie Marine – Institute for Marine Biological Resources and Biotechnology (IRBIM);
4) Istituto di Scienze MARine – Institute of Marine Sciences (ISMAR);
5) Istituto di Ricerca Sulle Acque – Water Research Institute (IRSA).
EU Research Infrastructures
These five CNR Institutes are actively involved in EMBRC and other European Research Infrastructures recognized by ESFRI (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures), distributed facilities that provide resources and services for research communities to conduct research and foster innovation.
CNR has a series of marine research stations that are already connected between them and that will increase their relevance and connections across Europe within the remits of EMBRC, strengthening collaboration, and enabling researchers to gain access to organisms, services and facilities to advance fundamental and applied marine research.
