Brief description 
Deeper understanding of biological processes and recent advances in biotechnology allow us to use the natural world to progress in various industries, such as in the development of drugs and food additives. In general, the term bioprospecting is used to indicate the exploration of living beings and biological materials for biomolecules that may be useful to humans. In this field, poorly known or poorly described genetic resources have a great potential for the discovery of new and valuable natural products. Therefore, polar organisms, given their unusual metabolic abilities and physiological adaptations to extreme environmental conditions, are well suited for this purpose. Furthermore, the possible future potential of polar organisms in of the bioremediation of pollutants, even persistent ones, at low temperatures should not be overlooked.

Since its first expeditions in 1968, 1973 and 1978, the CNR has strongly supported the diplomatic action of the MAECI (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation) which led to the accession of Italy to the Antarctic Treaty. The CNR initially contributed to identifying the construction site of the Italian station Mario Zucchelli and is currently coordinating the different lines of scientific activity of the National Research Program in Antarctica (PNRA). The implementation of research in Antarctica is carried out by the national scientific community, of which 51% are university research groups, 23% CNR research groups, 9% from INGV, 5% from ENEA, 4 % from OGS and INAF and the remaining 4 % is carried out by other institutions. The scientific priorities identified within the framework of the National Research Program in Antarctica, are mostly multidisciplinary, and can be traced around the following topics: dynamics of the atmosphere and climate processes, dynamics of the polar ice cap, solid earth dynamics, polar ocean dynamics, Sun-Earth relationships and space-weather, the universe above Antarctica, evolution, adaptation and biodiversity, humankind in extreme environments, environmental contamination, paleoclimate, environmental issues and risks, as well as technology: innovation and experimentation. In many of these research areas, the CNR’s activity, thanks to its research network, is at an excellent level, although it is still fragmented into numerous institutes belonging to various departments. 
The Italian presence in the Arctic became permanent in the mid-nineties, thanks to the opening of the CNR station in the Svalbard Islands. In recent years, the interests of the Italian scientific community have been extended to other remote areas such as Greenland, areas of the Arctic Ocean, the Tibetan plateau and the Himalayas. In addition to the CNR, OGS, ENEA, INGV, INAF, ASI and some universities carry out research activities in these areas. In addition, Italy has strong economic interests in the Arctic with numerous industries that are active in this area, including ENI, Finmeccanica, Telespazio, E-geos, and Fincantieri. Since 1997 the has CNR carried out research in Ny-Ålesund in cooperation with national and international universities and other scientific institutions. The topics include climate, manmade pollution, instability of the ozone layer, the physical properties of aerosols and clouds in their role in radiation balances, ecology, genetics, physiology, biochemistry and the molecular and cellular biology of polar organisms, the optical properties of glacial surfaces, geochemistry, environment and permafrost, oceanography aimed at studying the transfer of energy and matter in relation to glacial coverage and, finally, historical and geographical studies that evaluate the Italian contribution to polar exploration and research. Recently there has been an intensification in the study of legal issues of specific to the Arctic with advice given to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs within the framework of the Arctic round table. 
On December 6th, 2006, the CNR, with the 
Italian researchers involved in research in polar areas and other remote areas of the planet are involved in highly interdisciplinary research in life sciences, Earth and climate sciences, marine sciences, atmospheric and space sciences, in addition to technological innovation. But national research in polar areas has often been very fragmented and scarcely visible in an international context, because, although carried out within highly qualified research groups, they have so far only been individually recognizable and not associated with a national structure.
