A multidisciplinary training program is offered in
Materials Science, to develop the methodological, theoretical and practical skills essential to the
field. The basic teaching activities in chemistry
and physics are complemented by a rich offer of
multidisciplinary training in engineering, geological and biological sciences. The course builds
on the collaboration between the Dept. Chemistry, Life Sciences and Environmental Sustainability (SCVSA) and the Dept. of Mathematical,
Physical and Computer Sciences. It stems from
the COMP-R project, awarded to SCVSA (MUR
Departments of Excellence 2023-27) on the topic “The challenge of complexity for sustainable
development: towards regeneration”. COMP-R
funds the acquisition of advanced instrumentations and new faculty members, to design the
training program that relies on extended laboratory activities. It also funds scholarships for best
students. In short, the students will access a training program dealing with cutting-edge research
devoted to the design, development and analysis
of advanced functional materials, with particular
interest to applications for sustainability, sustainable processes and life cycle assessment.
