CBN labs and facilities respond to the need of supporting the research activities, based on three main pillars: micro- and nano- technologies, bio-nano interactions and organic/inorganic nanomaterials. Their application is transversal to most IIT research units and their implementation will be the key for succeeding in reaching the research and technology transfer targets, but also to allow external institutions, both private and public, to apply for collaborations, exploiting the state of the art facilities for R&D and advanced prototyping. CBN includes 9 laboratories:
