Member - CSGI (Consorzio Interuniversitario per lo sviluppo dei Sistemi a Grande Interfase Center for Colloid and Surface Science)
CSGI is a public research institution which gathers several Italian academic groups of Soft Matter and Surface Science
About
CSGI was founded in December 1993 and since then it is under the supervision and control of the Italian Ministry for University and Scientific Research (MIUR).
Since 1994 CSGI has been promoting and coordinating scientific, training, and technology transfer activities in the chemistry of colloidal systems and more generally systems with a high interfacial area. To accomplish this goal, CSGI brings together the most prestigious Italian academic schools in the field of Soft Matter and functional surfaces, providing an infrastructure for the academic network operating in this thematic area in Italy. CSGI has top-level synthetic and experimental expertise for the physico-chemical characterization of soft and hard matter and functional surfaces.
Piero Baglioni, the CSGI founder, is internationally recognized as the most influential Italian soft matter scientist and, throughout his career, pioneered the application of nanostructured materials to conservation of cultural heritage. For this activity, he has received numerous awards, such as the Bonino Medal of the Italian Chemical Society and the "Lectureship Award" of the Chemical Society of Japan "(2017).
CSGI is an internationally recognized network of excellence; our position in the Italian scientific landscape is validated by the VQR 2011-2014, where CSGI is the consortium with the highest number of employees in chemistry (60), with over 94% of the products rated as Excellent.
With this exceptionally robust scientific background, CSGI implements actions that make basic and applied research and technology transfer available for companies, facilitating their access to the activity of national, international, or "large scale infrastructures" laboratories.
Over the years, CSGI has become an international network of reference for technology transfer, involving Italian, European, and international research bodies and private companies (ENI, Procter & Gamble, Biomeuriex, L'Oreal, pharmaceutical IDI, Dompé, Rottapharm, etc ... ).
This scientific excellence and proactive capacity result in a remarkable success rate in European competitive funding, often with CSGI as the coordinator team.
