Research activity at the INFN is carried out at two complementary types of facilities: the divisions and the national laboratories. The 19 divisions are based at university departments, providing a direct link between the INFN and the academic world. The four laboratories — in Catania, Frascati, Legnaro, and at Gran Sasso — house major facilities and infrastructures which are available to the national and international scientific community. The INFN workforce includes about 2,000 of its own employees, almost 2,000 university employees involved in its research projects, and 1,300 young researchers, including undergraduate and graduate students and research fellows.
