3rd Summer school "Nanotechnology in agriculture"
Nanotechnology holds the potential to deeply impact farming practices through enhanced efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and improved crop yields, thereby contributing to global food security and sustainable agricultural development. The summer school aims to provide with a comprehensive understanding of the potential applications of nanotechnologies in agriculture, with a specific focus on advancements in precision agriculture through the development of nanosensors and high-tech nano and micro devices, and on nanoparticle-based approaches to pest control and fertilization, including synthesis approaches, characterization, and environmental impact of these materials. By addressing these critical areas, the school aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to sustainable agricultural practices and address global food security challenges.
PhD and MSc students, academics and researcher from industries working on topics related to nanotechnology, climate-smart agriculture and related topics. Participants are encouraged to present a poster on their own research work. Posters will be displayed in the teaching room and discussion with speakers and participants is foreseen during coffee breaks and lunches. The Summer School is jointly organized by Politecnico di Torino (DIATI and DET) and Università degli Studi di Torino (DISAFA). A bus transfer will be organized from Politecnico to DISAFA. Further details are available in the School website. Registration deadline: extended to September 10, 2024 Participation fee: 200 euros (VAT included). Included are all course material and lunch. Participants are responsible for own transport, accommodation, other meals, personal expenses. Further details and registration link available in the School website.
