Mission 4 – Component 2 – Investment 1.4 – Strengthening research facilities and creating ‘national R&D champions’ in certain Key Enabling Technologies

National research and development centres (or ‘flagship’ centres) are national research centres, selected through competitive procedures, which, through collaboration with universities, research centres and businesses, are capable of achieving a critical threshold of research and innovation capacity in five areas selected by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) as being of strategic interest for the country’s development.

Description

The aim is to reach a critical threshold of research and innovation capacity in technological fields relating to:

  • simulations, high-performance computing and data analysis
  • agricultural technologies (AgriTech)
  • the development of gene therapy and RNA-based therapeutics
  • sustainable mobility
  • biodiversity

Specifically, for Trentino, these are the following projects:

  • Simulations, high-performance computing and data analysis (National Centre for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing – CN-ICSC, coordinated by the National Institute of Nuclear Physics – INFN)

    The University of Trento and the Bruno Kessler Foundation are participating.
    For further information, please visit the website of the National Research Centre for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing – ICSC

  • Development of innovative technologies in the agricultural sector to improve the quantity, quality, resistance and resilience of production (National Research Centre for Agricultural Technologies – Agritech); the Edmund Mach Foundation (founder of the Hub) is also involved.
    For further information, please visit the website of National Research Centre for Agricultural Technologies – Agritech
  • Biodiversity ( National Biodiversity Future Centre – NBFC, coordinated by the National Research Council – CNR)
    The Edmund Mach Foundation is involved. For further information, see the website of the National Biodiversity Future Centre – NBFC
