National Facilities

Following the signing of the Convenzione in December 2020 between Human Technopole and the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Universities and Research and the Ministry of Health, a two-level public consultation open to the national scientific community was conducted over the course of 2021-22 to identify National Platforms to be implemented at HT.

Starting from early 2024 the following National Facilities will be set up and opened to the national scientific community.

For more information please check the Frequently Asked Questions or contact national.facilities@fht.org.

The access of external Users affiliated to Universities, Istituti di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico (IRCCS), and Public Research Entities will be supported by open calls for access as provided for in Law 160/2019, art. 1, comma 276, letter b. Access will be granted based on the principles of scientific excellence, with the aim of supporting high-quality research. The quality of the submitted requests will be evaluated and approved by an independent panel of experts, the Standing Independent Evaluation Committee (CIVP), that will also define the Access Management Plan as provided for the article 6 of the Convenzione.
