Abstract:        The Legnaro National Laboratories of the ISTITUTO 
NAZIONALE
DI FISICA NUCLEARE occupy a special place in the international Panorama
of the R&D of Superconducting Radiofrequency Cavities for Particle 
Accelerators.
In the last three decades indeed, we have studied the superconducting
thin film technology in the optics of cost reduction.  So both with the
production of Niobium thin film sputtered Copper Quarter Wave Resonators
for the ALPI Heavy Ion accelerator, and with the invention of a new 
cold-forming
technique for the preparation of seamless multicell elliptical cavities 
for the
electron colliders, the LNL-INFN are in a key position for a real 
technology challenge.
     In parallel to this, almost 15 years ago, it was realized that the 
material science
and technology  studied for the R&D of Superconducting cavities, could be
successfully applied to the need of the national industry for a plethora 
of market
applications: from the automotive to the medical prosthesis, from the 
jewellery
to the photovoltaic, from the fashion to the advanced mechanics, from
radiofarmaceuticals to microelectronics. Therefore at University of Padua,
a Master in Surface Treatments for industrial applications was born,
coorganized by INFN.  The Master course aims to combine the metallurgic
and surface treatments knowledge with the ability to use new technologies
and diagnostics, that are mandatory for industrial processes. It implies 
a deep
activity in laboratory at the Legnaro National Laboratories, in order to 
get used
to different technologies (vacuum, cryogenics, chemical cleaning of 
surfaces,
coatings, superconductivity).
    The attempt of technology transfer that results from all that above 
mentioned,
instead than weakening the work on Superconducting Cavities has enpowered
the quality of fundamental research.
