MediCoRe hub - master courses, doctoral courses, summer school

DICATECh-Poliba (Department of Civil, Environmental, Land, Building Engineering and Chemistry of the Polytechnic University of Bari), the coordinator of MediCoRe hub, offers several master and doctoral courses, as well as a summer school for students and researchers who wish to study abroad and participate in research and educational activities in various scientific fields.

The master program in “Sustainable water and land management in agricultural ecosystems,” which will be reopened soon for new enrolments, refers to the Master of II level, equivalent to one year with 60 ECTS. All information about the program is available at https://www.poliba.it/it/didattica/master, and the application is available at https://www.poliba.it/sites/default/files/master/bando_selezione_master_ciheam_def.pdf.  

This program offers the opportunity to obtain scholarships and accommodation.

Partnering with the Graphene Flagship

Project Polygraph (“Polymer/graphene heterostructures for physiological sensors”), led by Dr Marko Spasenović and funded by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia through the PRISMA program, has become a partnering project of the Graphene Flagship. The Graphene Flagship is a European initiative to bring graphene from laboratories to products, which brings together the entire European graphene community. By extension, our institute, ICTM, has become an Associate Member of the Flagship, which will facilitate the exchange of information and research between our researchers and other members.

The success of our researchers – paper published in npj 2D materials and applications

ICTM researchers Katarina Cvetanović and Marko Spasenović, in cooperation with their colleagues from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, published a paper in the journal npj 2D materials and applications, which is published by the prestigious publishing house Springer Nature. The paper "Quantifying stress distribution in ultra-large graphene drums through mode shape imaging" describes a method of mapping mechanical stress in ultra-large graphene membranes. The paper is open access and is available on the publisher's website and in the institutional repository Cer.
