Our group is involved in many national and international collaborations, here are some of the most relevant:
INFN Cultural Heritage Network
INFN Cultural Heritage Network
The Ferrara research group serves as a first-level node within the INFN-CHNet network, where INFN-CHNet (Cultural Heritage Network) represents the competence network dedicated to cultural heritage within the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), functioning as a distributed research infrastructure across Italy.
Our research group specializes in non-destructive diagnostic techniques for cultural heritage artifacts, leveraging advanced X-ray and optical imaging laboratories. Discover more about these activities and the active labs.
Medipix4 Collaboration
Medipix4 Collaboration
Our research group is an active contributor of the Italian research team of INFN (National Institute for Nuclear Physics), member of the Medipix4 collaboration.
The aim of the collaboration is the development of two pixel read-out chips: Medipix4, which will target spectroscopic X-ray imaging at rates compatible with medical CT scans, and Timepix4, which will provide particle identification and tracking with higher spatial and timing precision.
The Medical Physics research group is involved in the activities of characterization and study of possible application in X-ray imaging of these innovative photon-counting detectors.
Technical University of Ostrava
Technical University of Ostrava
International cooperation with the BME research group on the application of innovative technology in medicine, bringing the future of healthcare in the Moravian-Silesian Region .
EUTEMPE
EUTEMPE
The European Network for Training and Education of Medical Physics Experts (EUTEMPE) is a group of Medical Physics experts from all over Europe, providing courses at the highest (EQF) level. The collaboration offers a number of different courses on topics related to medical physics in diagnostic and interventional radiology. Angelo Taibi and Paolo Cardarelli are the leaders of EUTEMPE-MPE04 module dedicated to the “Innovation in diagnostic radiology: hot topics and challenges." The last edition of the course was held in 2025 in Ferrara. About this, read the news from the University of Ferrara (in Italian) or the EFOMP newsletter, at page 80 find some participants' impressions of the course.
Institute of Nuclear Physics - Polish Academy of Sciences
Institute of Nuclear Physics - Polish Academy of Sciences
International PhD programme "Copernicus" in Physics. Thanks to the collaboration between the University of Ferrara and the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Kracow, our group supervised the first student to graduate. In 2025, our PhD student Vittoria Mazzini started the joint PhD program.
MariX / BriXSino Initiative
MariX / BriXSino Initiative
Italian collaboration, between INFN and several national Universities and research institutions, for the proposal of a research infrastructure based on advanced X-ray sources. Our group is involved in the realization and applications study of an innovative monochromatic X-source based on inverse Compton interaction: BriXS and its small-scale demonstrator BriXSino.
