Abstract

The Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) groups together 16 Observatories and Institutes. Each hosts one or more laboratories and workshops, to support technological research, operations and maintenance. This results in a vast panorama of facilities, instrumentation, equipment and skills. During a recent meeting, the INAF technological community clearly expressed the need to share information in order to more easily find tools, facilities, skills, or whatever could be of interest, to increase the working efficiency and minimize dead times and costs. We addressed this need and started developing an interactive tool called MIRTA (Interactive Map for Technological Research in INAF), aimed to effectively collect and share all this information. Its use cases can be very simple, such as, for example, solving a contingent software or technical problem or finding a specific device, or more complex, such as finding a staff member with the necessary skills to collaborate in a new or existing project.
