15–19.09.2025 - International School "WATER" – Advanced Water Treatment Technologies. The University of Naples Federico II, in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam and the University of A Coruña, is organizing the International School “WATER”, a training initiative aimed at Master’s and PhD students in Chemical Sciences and Chemical Engineering. The school provides advanced training on cutting-edge technologies for water treatment through a guided and interactive learning experience. Participants will design and develop a complete water purification process, starting from the synthesis and characterization of solid materials (such as adsorbents and catalysts), to the application of innovative techniques like adsorption, photodegradation, and the use of alternative energy sources, including ultrasound. The school will be held in Naples, at the Department of Chemical Sciences, University of Naples Federico II, from September 15 to 19, 2025. Participation is free and registration is now open.
