Linguaggio della Ricerca
Linguaggio della Ricerca - LdR promotes a close collaboration between schools and science dissemination experts. The aim is to capture the interest of high school students in scientific research and to directly involve them in the dissemination of the topics they learn, using both English and Italian.
LdR is part of a National Network for scientific dissemination, which was created for fulfill the aims of the project "Dalla ricerca alla scuola e ... ritorno - Metodo, linguaggio e approccio scientifico per una scuola di qualità" (01.11.2016 - 05.11.2019). The project was financed by MIUR - Accordi e Intese (Law 113/91) D.D. 1524/2015 - Contract no. ACPR15T4_00327. The partners were CNR, ENEA and MeltingPro.
Beginning in the school year 2015/2016, the research units of ISM in Rome and Tito Scalo proposed a list of dissemination lessons to high schools in the surrounding areas.
ISM is involved in the organization of an annual LdR Workshop, which has been held every year since 2018, at the Montelibretti Research Area (AdR RM1). The workshop is dedicated to the high school students who have attended the LdR lessons and the works they produces based on the lessons of the previous school year. About 250 students participate every year.
European Researchers' Night
The Researchers' Night is an initiative promoted by the European Commission since 2005 that involves thousands of researchers and research institutions in all European countries every year. The goal is to create opportunities for meetings between the world of research and the public to spread scientific culture and knowledge of the research professions in an informal and stimulating context. Events include live science experiments and demonstrations, exhibitions and guided tours, educational lectures and seminars, shows and concerts.
ISM actively participates in the European Researchers' Night with initiatives in various locations, aimed at making the public aware of the research activities of ISM and their possible applications. This action is based on the realization that in order for publicly funded research to be promoted and financed, it requires the support of the public and their participation in the challenges and progress of science.
Other popular events
ISM staff promotes and participates in the realization of numerous dissemination events, on both the local and national scale. The dissemination activity is considered a task of equal importance to those of research and higher education.
Dissemination activities are also carried out for schools, with seminars and educational workshops held on school premises or by inviting students to visit the ISM facilities.
Publishing
ISM's editorial dissemination activities include popular literature, scientific journalism, and publication in popular journals of national and international research bodies. For a detailed list of the latter, see the personal pages of the individual researchers.
Dissemination projects
This page lists the funded scientific dissemination projects in which ISM is coordinator or partner.
Seminar@ISM
SEMINAR@ISM is a regular series of seminars given by both CNR-ISM staff and external guests on research topics of interest to the Institute.
The seminars will take place monthly and will be held in person at one of the four CNR-ISM sites. They will also be broadcast live on the social channels of the institute so that they can be followed by all interested CNR-ISM staff and also by external audiences.
The planning and organization is carried out by the Communication Office of ISM.

The Rational and (Sometimes) Irrational Design of Biomaterials for Medical Applications
Hip implants, heart valves, and drug-eluting wafers are biomaterials that interact with the body. Biomedical innovation follows two paths: designing materials for specific needs, like contact lenses and surgical sutures, or repurposing biocompatible materials without clear uses. Some breakthroughs arise unexpectedly—modern contact lenses came from WWII pilots with plastic fragments in their eyes causing no harm, while tissue engineering began by repurposing surgical sutures as cell scaffolds. This talk explores biomaterials created for one purpose and later adapted for different applications.
