07-04-2014

As proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly, in 2014 we are celebrating the International Year of Crystallography, to which celebrations the Departments of Chemistry and Materials Sciences have joined, organizing a series of Conferences and other events, that will take place from April 2014 to April 2015. The Conferences include speakers of great prestige, among which 3 Nobel Laureates: Robert Huber (NOBEL of Chemistry 1989), Ada Yonath (NOBEL of Chemistry 2009) e Brian Kobilka (NOBEL of Chemistry 2012).

 

The subjects cover several scientific areas: Preservation of Cultural Heritage, Chemistry, Materials Science, Geology and Structural Biology.

 

The choice of speakers intends to promote a better understanding of the role of Crystallography in science, in our lives and in our future, assuring that the contact with these scientists of recognized international merit will be a unique opportunity for students, teachers and researchers.
