This XIII International Krutyn Summer School – “Advanced photo- and electrically active molecular and nano-materials at the interface with living systems: challenges and promises for the future bio-medicine” – is organized by the University of Bari “Aldo Moro” Italy, Polish Supramolecular Chemistry Network Foundation, and the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland.
The School is conceived as a high-level and highly intensive scientific event focusing on cutting-edge know-how on organic & hybrid materials for bio-medicine. This Summer School aims at the state-of-the-art training in the form of lectures and consulting sessions designed for Ph.D. students and young researchers seeking to reinforce their knowledge and skills in the exciting frontier field of molecular photonic/electronic materials and active nanostructures at the interfaces with biology and living systems, mainly for bio-medical applications (diagnosis, therapy, cells and tissues communications, staining, sensing and detection).
Top experts from different scientific backgrounds in this interdisciplinary area will deliver lectures and consulting sessions. The school is intended both for people already active in this R&D field, as well as for those new to the field. A number of social events will be also proposed to relax after the heavily-scheduled program, including: discotheque, bonfire, boats on Krutynia River, guided or individual out-door activities (kayaking, trekking, horse-riding, bikes, Nordic Walking, high-class ballooning, etc.). The International and Local Organizing Committees cordially invite you to take part in this Summer School.
