The FIM's scientific outreach activities aim to promote culture and the scientific method as tools for understanding reality and progress. The Department pursues these goals in close collaboration with schools, which are the Department's primary stakeholders, as well as with businesses, foundations, and cultural organizations at the local, national, and international levels.

Given the importance of outreach activities, several initiatives can be consulted in detail on external pages and sites.

• The Outreach website  is constantly updated with all the Department's independent initiatives for schools, scientific dissemination and orientation;
• Italian Quantum Weeks report on initiatives aimed at disseminating quantum mechanics, in collaboration with the CNR IFN, Como branch, and other national institutions and universities;
