main events

technology transfer activities SPIN is traditionally involved in industrial networks and in initiatives characterized by a close collaboration between research and industry. Some examples: Some initiatives: R&D Clusters and Districts Joint Infrastructures tecnobionet District for Polymeric and Composite Materials Engineering The large set of advanced scientific equipment and the expertise of the SPIN researchers allow the Institute to provide wide professional services activities, main of which are related to SEM/EDS analyses, investigations and measurements.
