Merck Young Chemists’ Symposium (MYCS) 2023

Giulio and Luca participated at MYCS2023 in Rimini where they had the opportunity to present the most significant results of their research in the field of electrochemiluniscence, published in our last papers. In addition to being a scientific enrichment, the congress facilitated the establishment of meaningful connections with other young researchers while having fun together.

20th Anniversary of the Institut de science et d’ingénierie supramoléculaires (ISIS)

It was a real pleasure and an honor to have been invited to that magnificent symposium. Magnificent talks and many friends and colleagues met again. Hope to see you all soon!

20 years of ISIS… Many memories, an important piece of life
