The Institute of Applied Sciences and Intelligent Systems (ISASI) carries out research in the fields of Physics, Information Sciences, Neurosciences and Biology. The research activity in each field has a high degree of specialization. In addition, the Institute has great potentiality to investigate problems which require a multidisciplinary approach, where the different methodological and technological expertises can contribute in synergy to achieve and transfer new knowledge.
ISASI is part of the Department of Physical Sciences and Technologies of Matter (DSFTM) of the National Research Council (CNR).
The research topics are:
Study and development of imaging, microscopy and optical analysis techniques;
Photonics and Optoelectronics
Functional devices, sensors and biosystems
Information science and artificial intelligence - Topic 1.2.1-2023 (IA) Actions to restore and return degraded lands in the Mediterranean region into productive agroecosystems. | Topic 2.2.1 (RIA) A step toward carbon-neutral farms: coupling renewable energy sources with circular farming systems.
- Topic 1.3.1-2023 (RIA) Increasing agri-food supply chain (cereal) resilience in the MENA region. | Topic 2.3.1-2023 (RIA) Assessing novel antimicrobial food packaging and coating materials to reduce food waste to improve safety in the Mediterranean food supply chain.
- Topic 1.4.1-2023 (IA) Accelerate adaptation and mitigation to climate change in the Mediterranean region by deploying WEFE nexus solutions.
