The internal operational network for scientific research is structured as follows:

• Operational Unit (O.U.): at each Centre, each work team has a research contact person (the head of the team or appointed delegate).
• Area Network: the set of O.U. contact persons for each subject area; it meets regularly via web or face to face.

Research activities are coordinated by Scientific Management assisted by 5 Research Assistants located in the various centres and Management and Assistants meet every 15 days.
