The Institute for Studies on Economics and Employment and the University of Brescia recently hosted the Nanochemistry Camp in Iseo, Italy. This international residential summer school caters to master’s and doctoral students in chemistry and related fields, emphasizing the importance of nanochemistry.
The course provided exceptional, cutting-edge insights into key topics within nanochemistry, utilizing a unique and innovative format that connects students with globally recognized experts in the field, including Andre Geim, Nobel Prize winner in Physics in 2010 for his groundbreaking experiments with the two-dimensional material graphene.
BOWers Paolo Bergese and Andrea Zendrini, who served as the scientific director and secretary of the school respectively (and representing the project coordinator, the Center for Colloid and Surface Science), along with Katharina Landfester, a speaker from partner Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, had the opportunity to meet Andre Geim and discuss nanochemistry as one of the driving forces behind the BOW project.
According to Paolo Bergese, “Andre Geim showed a keen interest in BOW’s state-of-the-art efforts to positively combine biological and synthetic nanoparticles”.
Katharina Landfester gave a lecture on the use of nanomaterials in the biomedical field.
