Values

The main mission of the INFN is fundamental scientific research which it pursues as a national public institute and as part of a large international scientific community, bringing with it the values of these two realities. Science and knowledge, not only as a profession but also as a value that must be conceived in its most excellent form and participated in the most transparent and effective way with the whole of society, as an opportunity for personal, human, social and cultural growth. Furthermore, the best results in science can only be guaranteed with the support of good and efficient management: excellence and integrity in both research and administration are an inseparable combination that characterizes our community and which also finds a regulatory reference in the code of ethics. This document governs the rules of conduct with which the Institute’s staff, whether employees or associates, are required to comply in carrying out their work activities, on the one hand, respecting individual rights and freedoms and, on the other, in the assumption of responsibilities and duties.

APPROFONDIMENTO

The INFN community supports the value of open science, “open access”, an approach that is based on the sharing of research results, both scientific and technological, also through publication on platforms that do not require paid subscription, precisely “open”, and adheres to the intervention axes codified by the National Plan for Open Science.

Science is an inclusive and borderless place, where people collaborate without differences or prejudices, valuing diversity, in a continuous process of training and growth, taking particular care of young men and women who represent the future of society. The experiments in which INFN is involved, in Italy and abroad, are often international collaborations in which these values are daily practice. At a national level, as required by the Italian law (L. n183 of 04/11/2010), the INFN has established a Comitato Unico di Garanzia (Single Guarantee Committee) which has the task of developing proposals, representing the reference and consultation body of the Organization in the process of creating a work environment characterized by respect for the principles of equality, equal opportunities and organizational well-being and in the problems associated with it.
