On 17 February 2015, Prof. Tullio Pozzan, Director of the DSB of the CNR sent a message to the directors of all the institutes affiliated with the activities and initiatives of the qPMO network. The project, presented during the annual conference of the DSB, responds to the growing need to guarantee the Quality, both technical and managerial, of research activities, organize the knowledge produced and create strong synergies between the scientific and entrepreneurial sectors, which are also central themes of the Horizon 2020 programme.

The methodologies used and models proposed by the qPMO network are applicable to other DSB laboratories and institutes, so it is important that the Department has feedback on the needs of the other institutes related to Quality and knowledge sharing. All researchers and technologists are invited to check out the quality4lab platform from the link on the DSB website and respond to the questionnaire and make any comments or suggestions by 15 March 2015.
