Laboratorio Energie Nucleare Applicata (LENA) of University of Pavia
The LENA Applied Nuclear Energy Laboratory is an “Inter-departmental Service Center” of the University of Pavia that manages a nuclear research reactor, a cyclotron for the production of radioisotopes and other sources of ionizing radiation, making them available to researchers from the University of Pavia and of other users, public and private, for the performance of applied research, teaching and service activities. The Center carries out research and training activities directly and provides services to individuals encouraging the transfer of research results in the field of nuclear technologies to the production system.

National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN)
The INFN – the National Institute of Nuclear Physics – is an organization dedicated to the study of the fundamental constituents of matter, and conducts theoretical and experimental research in the fields of subnuclear, nuclear, and astroparticle physics. Fundamental research in these areas requires the use of cutting-edge technologies and instrumentation, which the INFN develops both in its own laboratories and in collaboration with the world of industry.
National Laboratory of South
The Laboratori Nazionali del Sud are an important research center, well established in the international scientific community. The LNS activities are mainly concerned with the fundamental research in the field of Nuclear Physics, Nuclear Astrophysics and Particle Astrophysics, but also of Applied Research, such as Accelerator Physics, Plasma Physics, Nuclear Physics applied to Medicine, to Biology and Cultural Heritage, radiation monitoring, irradiation of components for aerospace industry.
National Research Council CNR
The National Research Council (CNR) is a public organization; its duty is to carry out, promote, spread, transfer and improve research activities in the main sectors of knowledge growth and of its applications for the scientific, technological, economic and social development of Italy.
One of the main projects in which CNR is involved is Research on Nuclear Fusion.
