General coordination:

Researchers have always played a fundamental role in addressing complex global challenges. For this reason, NanoInnovation is committed to encouraging and promoting the participation of young researchers (under 35) within the scientific community, while also supporting their careers through dedicated mentoring activities. In line with these goals, Young Innovation has grown into a semi-independent event, now in its fifth edition, which will take place from 15 to 19 September 2025. Year after year, the initiative continues to expand, featuring an ever-increasing number of leading contributors and focusing on the researchers of tomorrow.

Young Innovation is now a well-defined event consisting of three days of discussions, organized into 90-minute sessions. Specifically, the program includes: two parallel tracks with sessions dedicated to the two main thematic areas: Material Sciences and Life Sciences.

Each session will feature:
- An introductory talk (max. 30 min.) on the state-of-the-art of the session theme delivered by a senior researcher;
- Four short presentations (max. 7 min. each) by young researchers, presenting the results of their ongoing studies;
- A concluding round-table discussion (approx. 30 min.), featuring an open question-and-answer session between young researchers and senior researchers.

The specific topics of the event have been selected by the Chairs and the NanoInnovation Organizing Committee, who have also appointed the members of both the Young Innovation Scientific Committee and the Organizing Committee.

Ultimately, the goal of Young Innovation is to offer a platform for emerging scientists to share their research and build meaningful connections.

Impacts of Nanomaterials and New Advanced Materials on Health and Safety in the Workplace
FE.II.14 - TT.VII.H

Session organized by INAIL

Chair: Fabio BOCCUNI, INAIL

The manufacturing and use of nanomaterials and new advanced materials introduces emerging sources of emission of nanoscale particles in the work environments. The concerns are closely linked to the potential health effects of ultrafine particles for exposed workers, although the scientific evidence should be still improved to support this relationship. New safe and sustainable by-design approaches have been developed by application of the precautionary principle, to support enterprises in reducing the gap between the rapid growing of products marketplace and the risk management actions needed for the regulatory requirements. In parallel, opportunities provided by the application of the innovative properties of nanotechnologies may contribute to improve occupational health and safety levels, also in applications to the traditional risks.
In this view materials with new and enhanced properties could be integrated in sensors and new technological devices to support the early detection of harmful substances in the work environment (i.e. chemical, carcinogenic and biological agents). The scope of the session is to explore new methodological approaches and innovative risk assessment and monitoring tools to guarantee healthy and safe workplace in the near future.

Innovative Nanotechnologies: an intrinsic multidisciplinary, multiphysics, multiscale approach
FE.II.20 - TT.X.H

Session organized by University of Ferrara

Chair: Alessandro MATTONI, CNR - IOM Cagliari

Nanotechnologies are a broad field that bridges many disciplines, from physics and chemistry to medicine and engineering. A common challenge is to understand phenomena that occur at the nanoscale in order to design technologies that act at the macroscale. In many respects, nanotechnologies are a natural playground for physics and chemistry, especially their theoretical branches: the characteristic length and time scales of nanoscale processes often fall squarely within these domains. Yet the nanoscale is also a “no-man’s-land”: it is not large enough to apply infinite-size approximations, nor small enough to be described by isolated molecule or cluster models. This is not a drawback but rather a stimulus, a challenge that the current generations of scientists leaves as a “gift” to the next ones.
