Explore the programme

The time has come to gather once again for the CNR-INO Symposium — this year dedicated to “Beyond PNRR. Connecting in the new R&D Ecosystem.”
In a moment of profound transformation for research in Italy, the symposium offers us a space to reflect together on what lies ahead, beyond the extraordinary opportunities of the PNRR.
It will be an occasion to reconnect as a community, share perspectives across projects and laboratories, and explore how our institute can continue to act as a bridge within a broader national and international innovation ecosystem. By bringing together experiences, visions, and concrete strategies, we aim to strengthen collaborations, enhance the impact of our work, and imagine the next steps for INO in a changing research landscape.
Let’s use this moment to be inspired, to learn from one another, and to renew our collective ambition.
