SMALL BUSINESSES ON BIG MISSION: MATERIALS FOR FUTURE OF HEALTH
IUS buzzed with activity as it hosted the symposium, titled "BioNano Innovations for Cancer Therapy with Small Molecules and Engineered Nanoparticles" through Deep Green Inno. Symposium was organized by team leader Altijana Hromić-Jahjefendić and targeted the GBE students. Additional educators were experts, our partners from the CNR SCITEC 'Giulio Natta' Dr Laura Polito, Dr Daniela Arosio and Dr. Raffaella Soave. They shared their fascinating research on cutting-edge cancer therapies, giving our students a glimpse into the future of medicine and importance of preventing these deaceses by keeping the nature clean and all the technologies as 🌱 "green" 🌱 as possible which is exactly our project's educational goal.
After soaking up all the innovative ideas at the symposium, the programme got even better with an industry visit 🚌 . Students from the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Business and Administration headed out to Greens Social Enterprises. This visit was part of the Deep Green Inno study trips and offered a unique look at sustainable farming practices. Student were able to discovere how Greens combines sustainability, profitability, and inclusiveness in its business model.
