Research Infrastructures

The Research Infrastructures (RIs) of the University of Florence include laboratories, scientific equipment, collections, archives, databases and digital platforms that support the production, sharing and advancement of knowledge. Their open and multidisciplinary nature fosters collaboration among researchers, professionals, and public and private entities, contributing to strengthening the University’s role within the national and European research system.

RIs also serve as a strategic tool for enhancing research and fostering engagement with society.

For the academic community, they provide a qualified environment in which theory and practice can be integrated, thanks to access to state‑of‑the‑art equipment and the opportunity to develop experimental activities, interdisciplinary projects and advanced training programmes.

For the productive sector and for businesses, RIs act as a driver of innovation: they provide specialised expertise, advanced technologies and collaboration opportunities aimed at developing new processes, products and services.
