NanoInnovation has always been committed to promoting science and research at all levels. With a mission to encourage exchanges between universities, research institutions, and companies, the organization aims to facilitate the participation of early-stage researchers in the scientific world and support their careers through mentorship activities. In line with these goals, NanoInnovation is excited to announce the third edition of the special event "YoungInnovation - The State of Research communicated by Young Researchers," which will take place on September 20-22 in collaboration with the University Magna Graecia of Catanzaro and Sapienza University of Rome. In today's world, science, technology, and innovation serve as the driving force behind global development. As our society faces complex and rapidly changing challenges, researchers play a crucial role in finding solutions. It is the new generations of researchers and scientists who hold the key to future development worldwide. The three-day event will feature a series of symposia where the state of research will be presented by young researchers, preferentially under the age of 35, who dedicate their days to working in laboratories to produce innovation. YoungInnovation aims to communicate the current status of research, with a particular focus on highly innovative aspects. The symposia will cover a wide range of topics, including life sciences, material sciences, personalized medicine, advanced microscopy techniques, et. To further enrich the event, plenary scientific lectures will be delivered by renowned "Senior Scientists." These distinguished individuals will provide valuable insights and a roadmap on the topics discussed during the daily symposia, offering a comprehensive overview of the field's advancements. Beyond its scientific contributions, the event aims to foster the exchange of ideas and provide support to young researchers in their endeavors. YoungInnovation will serve as a platform where these aspiring scientists can engage in meaningful discussions, share their research, and network with their peers who will be attending the event. With the third edition of YoungInnovation, NanoInnovation continues its commitment to nurturing the talent and potential of young researchers. By dedicating a significant portion of the event to their contributions, the organization ensures that their work receives the recognition and visibility it deserves. As a result, the event not only serves as a showcase of cutting-edge research but also as a catalyst for collaboration, inspiration, and the advancement of scientific knowledge. |
