University of Milano-BicoccaMilano, 14-19 September 2009
The PCAM – Physics and Chemistry of Advanced Materials european network organizes each year a school for graduate students on a specific relevant topic. The 2009 edition will be held in Milano, at the University of Milano-Bicocca, and will focus on Materials for Energetics. Energetics, renewable sources, new materials are strategic for the society of XXI century. Research today is asked to address important issues of our society, including the need for alternative sources to fossil fuels, better energy saving, and more efficient energy storage. This school is intended to give graduate students and young scientists the basic concepts of materials for energetics, the literature evolution of the last years, and a look at the forefront of the energy industry.
