HT National Facilities: One Year On, New Call Open
On 10 June, Human Technopole marks the one-year anniversary of the official opening of its National Facilities, a key milestone in our mission to support excellence in life sciences across Italy.
Celebrating this important date, we are pleased to announce that the new Call for Access to the National Facilities is now open. Researchers can submit their proposals until 30 September 2025, via the application portal (opening on 15 June 2025): PICA.
Since their launch, the National Facilities have become a cornerstone of collaborative research, offering open access to cutting-edge technologies and expertise in the fields of omics, imaging, and data analysis. Following the success of previous calls – including the 24-PILOT call, which saw more than 120 project applications – this new call offers an expanded opportunity for scientists to advance their work with support from HT’s expert teams and state-of-the-art infrastructure.
The services are entirely subsidized by HT through an indirect financing system and they are available to researchers affiliated with universities, IRCCS, and public research institutions across Italy.
All applications will be evaluated by the Standing Independent Evaluation Committee (SIEC), an external body tasked with ensuring that access is granted based on scientific merit and technical feasibility.
Over the past year, more than 100 projects have already benefited from the support of the National Facilities, generating high-impact results and fostering a strong sense of scientific community.
Voices from our National Facilities Users
This new call reinforces Human Technopole’s commitment to advancing open, collaborative, and high-quality research across the life sciences.
