We are pleased to convey you the approval of the first MRS University Chapter in Italy, at the University of Genova. The creation of an MRS Chapter at Genova University would consolidate our pioneering role in Materials Science in Italy and in Europe with the aim of encouraging international collaboration within different existing European Chapters and disseminating culture and knowledge outside the academic community.


Alessandro Pellis of DCCI has been awarded a €1.5 million ERC Starting Grant 2023 with the CIRCULARIZE project. For the next five years, the Chemo-Enzymatic Processes Laboratory will work on the chemo-enzymatic conversion of renewable monomers into circular functional materials.
