YoungInnovation

The State of Research communicated by Young Researchers 

Researchers have always played a fundamental role in finding solutions to complex challenges. For this reason, NanoInnovation is committed to encouraging and facilitating the participation of young researchers (under 35 years of age) in the scientific world and supporting their careers through mentoring activities. In line with these objectives, Young Innovation has evolved into a semi-independent event, now in its fourth edition, to be held from 17 to 19 September 2025, increasingly enriched with significant presences and aimed at the researchers of the future.

Young Innovation has become a well-defined event consisting of three days of discussions, divided into 90-minute sessions. In particular, the sessions will be developed to include:

1. Parallel sessions focusing on the macro areas of Material Sciences and Life Sciences.

2. Other sessions covering topics common to both the above macro areas.

Each Young Innovation session will include:

• Introductory talk (max 30 min) on the state-of-the-art of the session theme by a senior researcher;
• 4 contributions (max 7 min/each) by young researchers, presenting the results of their current studies;
• A short concluding round table discussion (approx. 30 min) with questions and answers between young researchers and senior researchers.

The specific topics of the event will be selected by the Chairs and the NanoInnovation Organizing Committee, who will also appoint the members of the Young Innovation Scientific Committee and the Organizing Committee.
As for the young speakers interested in participating, the spontaneous application requires:

1. the uploading of the abstract of their research through the website, on the dedicate submission section CALL FOR POSTERS.

2. the ticking the ‘Young Innovation” box during the submission.

Selected abstract from the under-35 applicants, based on the quality of the proposed research and its relevance to the theme of the session, will be invited to presented during Young Innovation and could be displayed in printed form during Nanoinnovation and uploaded on the website in the dedicated session.
Selected participants will not have to pay the submission fee required for the regular poster session. Those not selected for the event can still pay the fee and participate by uploading their poster to the website and displaying it during the event.
Overall, the purpose of the Young Innovation event is to provide a platform for these emerging scientists to share their research and network with colleagues at the event. As such, the event serves not only as a showcase for cutting-edge research, but also as a catalyst for collaboration, inspiration and the advancement of scientific knowledge.
