The role of the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (Padova) is to propose, coordinate and conduct experimental and theoretical research work in the field of fundamental nuclear physics, as well as in other sectors regarding the study of interactions between matter and radiation or particle beams, such as those generated by the particle accelerators installed at the Laboratories. Research program development and management is carried out with the same spirit as at the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), the Italian National Nuclear Physics Institute, which the Laboratories relate to on an institutional basis. A special agreement has been established between the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro and the University of Padova regarding a mutual collaboration commitment. In addition, within the scope of the institutional duties of the INFN and in full compliance with the conventions stipulated with the University, the Laboratories also promote agreements and conventions with other research bodies, including international organizations.
