Politecnico di Milano is an excellent scientific-technological university for architecture, design and engineering. It is one of the most prestigious universities in the world, ranked 17th for Engineering, 9th for Architecture and 5th for Design on a global scale, and 1st in Italy in all the three aforementioned disciplines, according to the QS World University ranking. It has always focused on the quality and innovation of teaching and research, developing a fruitful relationship with the economic and productive reality through experimental research and technology transfer.
The nonlinear optics and spectroscopy group, part of the Physics Department, focuses on: developing state-of-the-art femtosecond laser sources with pulse duration approaching the single optical cycle and broad spectral tunability; applying such pulses to time-resolved spectroscopy and microscopy with extreme time resolution.

The mission of the Cambridge Graphene Centre is to investigate the science and technology of graphene, carbon allotropes, layered crystals and hybrid nanomaterials. This engineering innovation centre allows our partners to meet, and effectively establish joint industrial-academic activities to promote innovative and adventurous research with an emphasis on applications.
The Department of Computer Science and Technology (known as the Computer Laboratory) is an academic department within the University of Cambridge that encompasses Computer Science, along with many aspects of Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The group of Pietro Liò focuses on developing Artificial Intelligence and Computational Biology models to understand diseases complexity and address personalised and precision medicine. Current focus is on Graph Neural Network modeling to build predictive models based on the integration of multi scale, multi omics and multi physics data; integrate deep learning and mechanistic approaches; explainability and interpretability in medicine; exploiting short- and long-range communications in the human body, between cells and tissues and predict emerging mechanistic properties at systemic medicine level.

The Istituto di Fotonica e Nanotecnologie (CNR-IFN) carries out innovative research in the fields of photonics and of nanotechnologies considering both the fundamental aspects and those applied involving the development of novel photonic devices and systems, optoelectronic equipment, and electronics devices.
The IFN headquarter in Milan, hosted by the Physics Department of the Politecnico di Milano, has been established in 2010 by the merging of the Milan section of the IFN, the former Center for Quantum Electronics and Electronic Instrumentation (CEQSE) founded by CNR in 1975, and the National Laboratory for Ultrafast and Ultraintense Optical Science (ULTRAS) of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica della Materia (INFM). In CHARM the main person involved is Dr. Renzo Vanna as expert in Raman spectroscopy for biomedical applications.
