Trento Innovation Conferences
in Materials Engineering
Trento, 16-19 December 2007
1st Meeting: Advances in
Polymers, Composites
and Biomaterials
In honour of the 60th birthday of prof. Claudio Migliaresi

The Scope:

Research on Polymers, Composites and Biomaterials is evolving with a breathtaking rapidity. The scope of the conference is to put together a small, selected group of leading scientists to exchange ideas and perspectives on the current status of the research, aiming at tracing some directions. Rather than focusing on a particular branch of polymers and biomaterials science, the overall aim of the conference is therefore to provide a forum for a broad discussion on recent achievements in some topics at the cutting-edge of research.

The Venue:

The Conference will take place in an informal setting surrounded by the beauty of Trento winter area, enhanced by the typical Christmas Market in Piazza Fiera where to discover a magic world of scents, flavours, colours and lights and to feel the ancient emotions of waiting for Christmas.
The chosen venue is the Sala delle Marangonerie, located in the  Buonconsiglio Castle, a medieval castle in the center of the town. The Castle originated from a fortified building erected in the 13th century next to the city's walls. It acted first as meeting point of the local community and then became the seat of the Prince-Bishops of Trento until the secularisation of the Principality (1802). Presently Buonconsiglio Castle hosts the Provincial Gallery of Arts.

The number of participants is limited to 120, a nominal fee of 200 Euros is requested. Registration fee includes participation to the Conference, Welcome Party, Coffee Breaks and Symposium Dinner.

Participation fee for accompanying person is 50 Euros and includes Welcome Party and Symposium Dinner. 

The Welcome Party (16th of December) and the Symposium Dinner (18th of December) will take place at the Grand Hotel Trento.
