Research activities of the University of Bologna:
For this project, the University of Bologna works in partnership with the National Research Centre, Politecnico di Torino, Università di Roma and Università di Roma Tre. Activities will focus on the structured and functional study of the interactions of materials and devices. Advanced device microfabrication and integration technologies will be used to enable in situ and in operando activities, i.e. within their environment of use and during their actual operation.
