XI Giornata del Dottorato / 11th meeting of the PhD School in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences 2025

The 11th meeting of the PhD School in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences is planned for 20 and 21 February 2025.

Dr Giuseppe Giannini, AlfaSigma Pomezia and Prof. Claudia Bello, University of Florencem will give plenary lectures.

The PhD students of the 37th cycle will present an oral report on the results of their PhD project (15 minutes + 5 minutes discussion). The PhD students of the 38th and 39th cycle will present  a short flash presentation (max. 5 minutes, no more than 8 slides).

The meeting will start on Thursday 20 February 2025 at 9.20 in the room 25 and will continue on Friday 21 February from 9.10 to 13.00 in room 25 (Polo Didattico San Miniato).

Those who carry out authorised research activities abroad during this period will be able to follow the meeting and present their results online.

 

I remind you that participation in the event is mandatory for all doctoral students, including those of the 40th cycle.
