The main CRF headquarters are situated in Orbassano (Turin). Smaller offices, dedicated to specific activities and topics, are dotted around Turin, at the Mirafiori plant, in Pomigliano d'Arco (Naples), at the Magneti Marelli plant in Bologna, in Valenzano (Bari) and in Trento.

​On a national scale, the Centro Ricerche Fiat plays an active role in several public and private research consortiums and collaborates with the Ministry for Universities and Research, the Ministry for the Environment and the Ministry for Economic Development. Particular attention is paid to relations with the surrounding territory: CRF is involved in projects and initiatives undertaken not only by Regions and Industrial Unions but also by Municipalities, Chambers of Commerce, Consortiums and by the local industrial fabric.​

THE GALLERY

Research and creativity are vital features of the CRF, and art is also a true source of inspiration here. Starting in 1993, the CRF has promoted a large number of initiatives to stimulate the creation of art works inspired by technology and research.

An important part of the CRF's research is carried out in the international arena: the Center is one of the promoters of the Joint Research Committee of European Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, EUCAR now. Since 1989, the CRF participates in research projects promoted by the European Union, working with more than a thousand industrial and academic partners in pre-competitive research of multi-year. At the global level, CRF is colaborating with  the most importan universities, institutions and research centers t in the world: from MIT at Stanford Research Institute in Palo Alto.​
