Join us to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery guided by the academic experts behind Una Europa’s Future Materials Focus Area. Let’s come together to envision more sustainable futures built using the materials of tomorrow!
Registration is not required - simply join the Zoom call on the specified dates to get involved!
The first session of our webinar series kicks off with an exploration of Una Europa's Future Materials Focus Area. The term “Future Materials” refers to any material expected to be developed or become prominent in the future. Such materials may be the product of innovations in sustainability, possess advanced or novel properties, or offer advantages to specific applications over currently available materials.
The webinar features Professor Marlena Gryl, a distinguished academic at Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie and Chair of Una Europa's Future Materials Focus Area. Professor Gryl will offer insights into materials research at Uniwersytet Jagielloński and presenting her pioneering work titled "Exploring Future Materials through Quantum Crystallography".
Joining her is Dr. Ewelina Lipiec, also from Uniwersytet Jagielloński, who will share her expertise on "Mind the gap! Plasmonic nanocavity for trapping local molecular rearrangements in selected biomaterials".
