… Network into Network and the Working Groups
The development of excellent studies presents us with the usefulness of expanding the network of collaborations with institutions that have synergistic and complementary activities, which share ethics, objectives and scientific method, such as public bodies, generally UNIVERSITIES. It should be noted that in the last twenty years (2000-2020), the great technological development and the adoption of accreditation procedures have led to a general improvement in the scientific services offered also by private companies, guaranteeing the quality of the data collected through ACCREDIA1
This objective situation has led the IMN to reorganize and streamline its operational structures, introducing the possibility of coordinated technical-scientific collaboration between INTERCOMPANY Working Groups, on the condition that they share the IRFMN’s values and ethics, in particular, not subordinating research and the dissemination of knowledge to the filter of any ideological, political, or religious belief, and ultimately, prioritizing health interests over commercial interests.

Multidisciplinary and Inter-Company Working Group
To address the numerous issues of EIA (Environmental Impact Assessments) and VIS (Health Impact Assessments) or Health Damage Assessments (VDS) and the resulting PMAS (Environmental and Health Monitoring Plan), it is useful/necessary to form a multidisciplinary working group including all the bodies (public and private) that are involved in various capacities (ARPA, ATS, ISS, UNIVERSITIES….). IMN, by choice, is primarily concerned with quantitatively assessing the health significance of “Environmental Diseases” due to exposure to mixtures of chemical-physical pollutants, as a contributing cause on the state ofpublic health. Following this statement, within the framework of the collaboration between inter-company working groups, the IMN Institute, in December 2022, signed an AGREEMENT FOR TECHNICAL-SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION with the Non-Profit Business Network #Ecologja c.r.s.g.2, as well as the Research Centre in Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine (EPIMED) of the Department ofMedicine and Surgery of UNINSUBRIA, signed a similar framework agreement in February 2026; agreements that allow us to coordinate a multidisciplinary working group (GdL.VIIAS.IMN.UNINS#ecologja) open to useful and necessary local institutional collaborations, overall capable of comprehensively carrying out excellent experimental applied research.
