The
PCAM - Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials european network organizes each year a school for graduate students on a specific relevant topic. The 2009 edition will be held in Milano, at the University of Milano-Bicocca, and will focus on Materials for Energetics. Energetics, renewable sources, new materials are strategic for the society of XXI century. Research today is asked to address important issues of our society, including the need for alternative sources to fossil fuels, better energy saving, and more efficient energy storage. This school is intended to give graduate students and young scientists the basic concepts of materials for energetics, the literature evolution of the last years, and a look at the forefront of the energy industry. The lecturers are first-class scientists and world leaders in their fields. The program, based on lectures and seminars, will provide attendees with the state-of-the-art knowledge on materials for energetics.
A number of high-profile speakers have already confirmed their presence:
M. Green (UNSW, Sydney, Australia)
M. K. Nazeeruddin (LPI, EPFL, Switzerland)
G. Chen (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA)
M. Fichtner (Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany)
Y. Cui (Stanford University, Stanford, USA)
K. Zaghib (Hydro-Quebec, Canada)
T. J. Marks (Northwestern University, USA)
H. Ossenbrink (European Commission, DG - Joint Research Centre, Ispra, Italy)
F. Ferrazza (ENI, Roma, Italy)
C. Bettiol (University of Roma Tor Vergata, Roma, Italy)
K. Barnham (Imperial College & Quanta Sol, London, UK)
F. Roca (ENEA, Portici, Italy)
A
poster session will be part of the School program. All participants are encouraged to present their own research.
Graduate and undergraduate students and young scientists from all countries are welcomed to attend the School. No registration fee is required. All those willing to attend need to register at the
Registration page. The program provides financial support to well-qualified students coming from PCAM and other universities to cover travel and accomodation costs (view the
Registration page). It is suggested that attendees should have a background in Chemistry or Physics applied to Materials Science. Official language of the School is English.
On July 20th 2009 the school numbers are:
- 193 registered attendees (119 male and 74 female)
- 25 countries participating
- 137 attendees from Italy and 56 attendees from other countries
- attendees from more than 60 research institutions and private companies
- 48 financial supports
- 79 poster presentations
- ca. 3000 visitors of the web site
We warmly acknowledge the financial support by:
and Pirelli - Corimav.
