Three-year Plan

The Three-year plan, defined by article 26 of the Regulations of organisation of the body, is where the future activity of INAF is planned.

In it, the future directions, strategic objectives and research projects are identified, as well as the human and financial resources required to carry them out.


The three-year plan 2010-2012 (in Italian language):

 

Appendix A1: "Research institutes"
Appendix A2: "Large instrumental projects from ground and space"
Appendix A3: "Innovation and transfer of technology"
Appendix A4: "Selection of press releases 2009"

PLANETARY SYSTEMS, TWO DISTINCT FAMILIES: THE HOST STAR LEAVES ITS SIGNATURE

Oct 13, 2026

PLANETARY SYSTEMS, TWO DISTINCT FAMILIES: THE HOST STAR LEAVES ITS SIGNATURE An international team led by INAF analysed multi-planet systems and found that they split into two distinct families born around different types of stars. The study, published in Nature Astronomy, shows for the first time that the host star's properties determine the architecture and dynamical evolution of the entire planetary system

NGC 362D: TWO RECORD-BREAKING FINDINGS SHED LIGHT ON THE EVOLUTION OF MILLISECOND PULSARS An INAF- and University of Bologna-led research team has discovered a binary system caught in an exceptionally rare evolutionary stage, consisting of a millisecond pulsar and the youngest white dwarf ever observed in a system of this kind

AN "IMPROBABLE" PLANETARY SYSTEM: COMPACT, COPLANAR, AND SHAPED BY A BROWN DWARF

Jun 17, 2026

AN "IMPROBABLE" PLANETARY SYSTEM: COMPACT, COPLANAR, AND SHAPED BY A BROWN DWARF An international team involving over ten institutions, with a strong participation from ESO and INAF, has characterised TOI-201 c, the transiting brown dwarf with the longest period for which mass has been measured. The study, published today in Nature, reveals a compact, coplanar system in which the presence of a massive, eccentric object redefines the stability boundaries for the inner planets
