The “Gian Piero Spada Award” is rewarded annually during the conference day “NextGenCHEM - New Frontiers in Chemistry: Research by PhD Candidates” for Doctoral Candidates and PhD Students in Chemistry. The event consists of three sessions: a morning session and an afternoon session of oral presentations, accompanied by a poster session.
This conference day provides the opportunity for doctoral candidates enrolled in the PhD programs of the Department of Chemistry "Giacomo Ciamician" --as well as all doctoral students in Chemistry and Nanosciences-- to present their research.
Participation is free of charge; however, registration is mandatory. To actively participate in the congress, submission of an abstract is required.
At the end of the conference day, the following awards will be presented:
- Two “Gian Piero Spada Medals for the Best PhD Research Project”, reserved for PhD students who have completed their final year of study (and are therefore awaiting their final examination) who have delivered an oral presentation.
- One “Gian Piero Spada Award for the Best Oral Presentation” open to all PhD students who have delivered an oral presentation.
- One “Gian Piero Spada Award for the Best Poster”
An extended abstract is required to compete for the “Gian Piero Spada Medals for the Best PhD Research Project”. See Awards rules page for further information.
