CISUP, the Center for Instrumentation Sharing of the University of Pisa, was founded in 2018 to develop and manage an interdepartmental network of state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation.
Its mission is to optimize laboratory resources, foster cutting-edge research, develop innovative technologies and support higher education at the national and international level.
