The Summer School will be held in Catania from the 7th to 11th of September 2026, during which students will have the opportunity to engage with faculty members from the laboratories and partner universities where they may carry out their thesis traineeship.
The available positions related to the EP Bioinspired Chemistry programme for the academic year 2026–202 7 will be published in the EUNICE Internships and Research portal.
The Summer School is organised within the frame of the Excellence Programme in Bioinspired Chemistry which explores and takes inspiration from structures and assemblies found in Nature to design new approaches for facing challenges in health, energy, information technologies, materials, and catalysis. This emerging area implies a multidisciplinary approach gathering domains of (bio)chemistry, (bio)materials, supramolecular systems, macromolecules, nanomedicine, self-organization, and nanosciences. This master’s degree aims at offering an educational background connecting the laboratory environment and the living world to mimic complex strategies elaborated by Nature, which represents infinite scientific andtechnological challenges. These challenges will be taken up through bioinspiration and biomimicry angles keeping in mind environmental awareness and ethics, while responding to ecological and sustainable transition challenges. This program offers a unique opportunity to explore and get inspired by living systems to develop cutting-edge technologies.
