Technical laboratory services

Laboratory management coordinator: Stefania Falcioni

 

Main activities:

- Manage the equipment of the laboratories also with a view to integrating services; coordinate and monitor equipment maintenance.

- Ensure coordination with the competent units or roles in the university for aspects related to the maintenance of laboratory spaces.

- Plan and organise the services and use of spaces and equipment by users (e.g. faculty, researchers, students, graduate students, etc.) for teaching, research and local services based on the guidance of the Department Director and/or the Department Service contacts.

- Supervise the proper performance of activities by users in compliance with the operating rules of the laboratory and safety procedures.

- As part of the process of procuring goods and services for the operation of the laboratories, cooperate during the programming phase (e.g. planning of requirements for the university's programme), ensure the design and execution of the contract (e.g. supplier search, request for quotes, technical opinions on orders, verification of regular and correct execution) and cooperate with the administrative services in the award phase (e.g. verification of the adequacy of the offer).

- Support the promotion and communication of the Department's laboratory initiatives.

- Support activities carried out in the laboratories by thesis students, graduate students and research fellows (contribution to the experimental stages and to the drafting of the papers).

- Support for the design, staging, implementation and data processing of research projects.

- Liaise with the heads of the local units for issues pertaining to the laboratory.
