Organs & Scientific Management

The Center for Nuclear Sciences and Technologies (C2TN) is a research unit of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), which gathers, together with Technological Development Laboratories ( LDTs), the main human resources, skills and research infrastructure of the former Instituto Tecnológico e Nuclear (ITN).

The Research Center is a crosscutting structure with proven expertise in Nuclear Physics & Engineering, Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety, Radiopharmaceutical Sciences, d- and f- Element Chemistry & Radiochemistry, Materials Science, Nuclear and Related Techniques for characterization of Materials, Environment & Cultural Heritage.

C2TN researchers can access specialized equipment and infrastructures, some of them unique in Portugal. They use their expertise, the facilities and equipment available, to perform both fundamental and applied research, to provide advanced Education & Training and the provision of services not covered by Technological Development Laboratories.

The Center has scientific autonomy, and participates in the definition of the scientific and technologic policies of IST.
