Interuniversity Consortia represent scientific networks of excellence for the development of knowledge, innovation, and technology transfer. The National Interuniversity Consortium for “Innovative Synthetic Methodologies and Processes” (CINMPIS Consortium), which currently includes 13 Italian universities (Bari, Basilicata, Calabria, Catania, Messina, Napoli, Cagliari, Camerino, Perugia, Pisa, Bologna, Pavia, and Milano-Bicocca), operates as an effective thematic network to promote technological innovation and scientific research jointly with institutions and corporates in multidisciplinary strategic sectors, spanning from agriculture, sustainable chemistry and biotechnology to medicine and materials science.
