The sector of bioinspired chemistry has a potential leading role to play in addressing some of the most important challenges that humanity must solve, such as developing new biomaterials for health, drug-delivery systems, adaptive materials with life-like properties, improved catalysts that function in water, high-density information storage systems, etc., while responding to ecological and sustainable transition challenges.
The objective of the Summer School is to familiarise students with the issues of bioinspired materials, their properties and applications (especially in health, sustainability, and as advanced materials), enabling them to undertake scientific challenges in their team projects (assigned during the virtual part), and engage them in scientific collaboration and communication. By practical aspects such as a workshop and excursion, the Summer School will foster a forward-looking perspective on research and innovation in the field of bioinsipired chemistry.
