Founded in 1951, the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics is the public research institute that has taken up the scientific legacy of Enrico Fermi and the “Via Panisperna boys” and continued their studies.
For more than seventy years, it has conducted cutting-edge research. As a result, it is now internationally recognised as one of the most prestigious scientific institutions in the field of nuclear, particle, and astroparticle physics, as well as in developing technologies for research and their applications to benefit society. All this is possible thanks to the commitment and training of its community, more than six thousand people who work in the scientific, technological, technical, and administrative areas.
In all its facilities, INFN has launched a project for quantifying the environmental footprint of its activities.
