- ISTITUTO // INSTITUTE
The National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) is the Italian research agency dedicated to the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the laws that govern them, under the supervision of the Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR). It conducts theoretical and experimental research in the fields of subnuclear, nuclear and astroparticle physics. All of the INFN’s research activities are undertaken within a framework of international competition, in close collaboration with Italian universities on the basis of solid academic partnerships spanning decades. Fundamental research in these areas requires the use of cutting-edge technology and instruments, developed by the INFN at its own laboratories and in collaboration with industries. Groups from the Universities of Rome, Padua, Turin, and Milan founded the INFN on 8thAugust 1951 to uphold and develop the scientific tradition established during the 1930s by Enrico Fermi and his school, with their theoretical and experimental research in nuclear physics. In the latter half of the 1950s the INFN designed and built the first Italian accelerator, the electron synchrotron developed in Frascati, where its first national laboratory was set up. During the same period, the INFN began to participate in research into the construction and use of ever-more powerful accelerators being conducted by CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, in Geneva. Today the INFN employs some 5,000 scientists whose work is recognised internationally not only for their contribution to various European laboratories, but also to numerous research centres worldwide.

International research evaluation
Ever since 1997 the INFN’s research activities have been subject to evaluation by an International Evaluation Committee (Comitato di Valutazione Internazionale -CVI) made up of seven experts from different countries, including one in economics and one in industry. Each year the CVI produces a report on the INFN’s research activities along with its proposals for ways of improving overall performance. This report is sent to the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research together with the three-year plan.
Members of the CVI:

Internal research evaluation
In 2000 the INFN set up an Evaluation Working Group (Gruppo di lavoro sulla valutazione-GLV) which, in turn, comprises five groups (one for each Scientific Committee) responsible for in-depth analysis of the scientific performance of each activity. The National EWG Coordinator attends the annual meeting of the GLV with the INFN’s management team.
A seguito delle modifiche apportate dal D.P.R. n. 81/2023 al Codice di comportamento dei dipendenti pubblici (D.P.R. n. 62/2013) e dell’esperienza maturata nel corso di un decennio, è stato predisposto uno schema di revisione al vigente Codice di comportamento del personale dell’Istituto, approvato con deliberazione del Consiglio Direttivo n. 13352 del 26 settembre 2014.
Come previsto dall’art. 54, comma 5, del decreto legislativo n. 165/2001, lo schema di revisione del Codice deve essere oggetto di un processo partecipativo rivolto ai soggetti portatori di interesse interni ed esterni all’Ente, quali il personale dell’Istituto, le Organizzazioni sindacali, quelle rappresentative di interessi collettivi e coloro che sono coinvolti dalle attività dell’INFN.
A tal fine viene dunque pubblicato lo schema di revisione del Codice con evidenza delle modifiche apportate rispetto la versione vigente, insieme alla sua Relazione illustrativa.
Tutti i soggetti interessati sono invitati a presentare, utilizzando esclusivamente l’allegato Modulo, eventuali proposte o osservazioni entro le ore 24 del giorno 14 dicembre 2024 al seguente indirizzo di posta elettronica This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Le proposte e osservazioni pervenute nei termini e modalità sopra indicati saranno valutate, dandone conto nella relazione di accompagnamento, ai fini della elaborazione del testo definitivo del Codice che sarà approvato dal Consiglio Direttivo dell’INFN nella riunione prevista per il 20 dicembre p.v.
