Advanced Techniques for the Analysis of Novel Materials Strategic for Sustainability Transitions: A Successful Second Edition

3 settimane ago



The second edition of our Winter School Advanced techniques for the analysis of novel materials strategic for sustainable transitions: 2. Biopolymers has just concluded successfully.

Organized by the Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry (DCCI) together with the Center for Instrument Sharing of the University of Pisa (CISUP), the Winter School offered a one-week full-time multidisciplinary program, dedicated to training students with a technical-scientific background on the advances in the analysis of materials of environmental chemical interest. This second edition was focused on the study of biopolymers and their applications in advanced and sustainable materials.

Students had access to cutting-edge instrumentation present at DCCI, most of which is part of the CISUP, like:

  1. analytical pyrolysis – gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) with micro UVirradiator systemmicro UVirradiator system,
  2. Bruker Avance NEO 500 Solid State NMR Spectrometer
  3. Thermogravimetric Analyzer-Gas chromatography/Mass spectrometer TGA-GC/MS – TGA8000-Claurus 690 GC/Claurus SQ 8T MS + Thermogravimetric Analyzer/Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy TGA/FTIR - Q5000 IR (TA Instruments)/Cary 640 (Agilent Technologies).

In addition to an introductory lesson on the innovative applications of biopolymers in the field of bioengineering and an introduction to the materials studied during the school, students were provided with detailed information on advanced techniques, and in particular on the aforementioned instruments. The lessons included both a theoretical introduction (with a focus on applications) in the classroom, and a practical one in the laboratory, accompanied by explanations on how to critically analyze the data. In addition to the teachers who gave the school lessons (program), the DCCI researchers (Luca Bernazzani, Jacopo La Nasa, Francesca Nardelli, Chiara Pelosi) actively participated in the organization of the school and in the delivery of the teaching, assisted by the technical staff (Maria Rita Carosi), as well as by numerous PhD and Master's students (Elisa Dalla Latta, Michele Pierigé, Andrea Scarperi, Arianna Ghelardi, Greta Biale, Cecilia Campi).

10 students of different nationalities (6) and origins (3 Italian universities and 4 foreign ones) participated in the Winter School. All students are doing their doctorate on topics related to the one of the Winter School, but not of a strictly chemical nature. The students particularly appreciated the fact that most of the teaching hours included practical demonstrations carried out in the laboratory, accompanied by individual data processing. The instrumentation used was of great interest thanks to its variety and very high technical level.

SEARCH - School of Etruscology: Archaeology and Research in Cultural Heritage

1 mese 4 settimane ago

The "SEARCH - School of Etruscology: Archaeology and Research in Cultural Heritage” offers an intensive academic programme of 10 working days involving lectures, visits, small group tutorials and archaeological excavation activities, related to the history of the Etruscan city of Volterra situated in the north part of Tuscany.

The programme will be held on campus at SIAF Volterra International School of Higher Education and it will be conducted, both in the classroom and in the field, by scholars and experts in archaeological disciplines. During the weekend, participants will have free access to additional nearby archaeological sites.

The lessons will be designed for students with a background in classical studies who wish to gain a deeper understanding of Etruscan and pre- Roman civilisations. The School of Etruscology is intended as a programme divided into different activities, including classes (lectures of archaeology, palaeopathology, photogrammetry), workshops dedicated to the preliminary cleaning and classification of archaeological finds, thematic visits to museums and archaeological sites and fieldactivities related to stratigraphical excavation. Specifically, excavation activities will be held in the Etruscan necropolis of Colombaie. The excavation carried out since 2016 by the Etruscology Team of the University of Pisa revealed the presence of Late Orientalizing/Early Archaic mounds.

Confirmed speaker and exerciser (in alphabetical order):

  • Fabrizio Burchianti
  • Samuele Cambianica
  • Carmine De Mizio
  • Giulia Riccomi
  • Maria Vittoria Riccomini
  • Lisa Rosselli
  • Emanuele Taccola

At the end of the programme there will be a final written examination to obtain the ECTS.

Thanks to a partnership with the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Volterra, the Winter School will be held on campus, in Volterra (Pisa), at SIAF, Strada Provinciale del Monte Volterrano, Località Il Cipresso.

SIAF will host the participants in its facilities not only for lessons, but also offering them food and accommodation.

Aim

The purpose of the School of Etruscology is to enhance the knowledge of the archaeological heritage of the ancient Etruscan city of Volterra.

The academic programme aims to provide students with the appropriate tools to study the ways and times of the development of an ancient Etruscan city through activities such as the analysis of the material culture and the discovery of the archaeological heritage. In particular, thanks to the collaboration of the Guarnacci Museum, participants will be guided in in-depth thematic studies of specific Etruscan artefacts. Moreover, the field experience in the Colombaie necropolis will be an opportunity for the learning of the first basics of the archaeological excavation.

Acropoli of Populonia Archaeological Field School

3 mesi 1 settimana ago

This Archaeology Summer School takes place in the scenic medieval castle of Populonia, overlooking the Gulf of Baratti and the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. Once a prominent Etruscan and Roman city, the site is located in the heart of Tuscany, near Florence, Pisa, and Siena, within the Archaeological Park of Baratti and Populonia.

The Summer School will be repeated in two sessions: 19-31 May 2025 and 2-13 June 2025. In both cases the registration deadline is 4 April 2025.

Each session features hands-on fieeldwork in archaeological excavation, creation of scientific documentation (graphic, photographic, and written), and a ceramics workshop using finds from the excavations.
Lectures cover topics such as stratigraphy, the historical and cultural context of the site, material culture, and include educational visits to local museums and archaeological sites.
All activities are led by professional staff involved in the University of Pisa’s ongoing investigations on the Acropolis of Populonia, with participation from Italian students to foster collaboration and exchange.
At the conclusion of the program, participants will complete a final assessment on the knowledge and skills acquired, which will contribute to their overall evaluation.

Participants will stay in a guesthouse managed by the Ministry of Culture within the Archaeological Park of Baratti and Populonia.
The guesthouse is equipped with a kitchen, shared bedrooms and bathrooms, and laundry facilities. Food will be provided via grocery deliveries, with participants responsible for preparing their own meals. Participants should provide a certificate or self-declaration of any food allergies or intolerances.

Participant's personal requirements and mandatory equipment (each participant must provide independently):

  • Tetanus vaccination certificate
  • Medical certificate of good health or fitness for work
  • Safety clothing, including reinforced-toe safety shoes and durable work trousers (long trousers)
  • Personal trowel and work gloves (optional)

The Summer School will be held on campus in Località Baratti, Piombino (Livorno), at Parco Archeologico di Baratti e Populonia.

Aim

The aim of Summer School is the acquisition of knowledge on archaeological research in the study of the ancient world, practicing the stratigraphy method and the drafting of scientific documentation in the field.
Our scientific goal is to gather archaeological data on Roman structures located on the Acropolis hill of the ancient Etruscan and Roman city of Populonia.
The site holds significant archaeological interest, featuring cultural artifacts from the Iron Age settlement of Fufluna/Pupluna, Roman walls on the Acropolis, temples, and other structures. Systematic research has been ongoing since the 1980s, with investigations in the sacred area revealing at least three temples surrounding the Roman forum. Recently, the University of Pisa uncovered a Roman thermal bath complex in the area.
