Scientific Agreement

Here you can find the scientific agreements signed by ICMATE. Specifically, these may include scientific agreements, bilateral CNR agreements with other institutions in which ICMATE participates, bilateral collaboration agreements, and memorandums of understanding.

Short Term Mobility

The Short Term Mobility (STM) Program enables Italian scholars to carry out research activities in cooperation with foreign Universities and Research Institutions of clear international standing.

It also enables highly qualified foreign researchers, belonging to foreign Universities and Research Institutions of clear international standing, to be invited to carry out research in cooperation with Cnr Instute.
