The round table is now a fixture of NanoInnovation, and its recent editions have traced a deliberate arc. Together, they have explored the evolving role of Research Infrastructures within the European research and innovation ecosystem: in 2024, as open-access platforms and shared facilities supporting technology transfer; in 2025, as strategic enablers of innovation pathways in the age of artificial intelligence. In both cases, the focus was on ...

Universities have rarely been asked to change so much about the way they teach, and rarely had so little time set aside to think about it. Three transformations arrived within a few years of one another, and none of them waited for a curriculum reform. The first is data. Research now produces evidence in volumes and formats that no lecture was built to carry: instrument streams, image collections, simulation outputs, datasets that exist in more versions than anyone has counted...

Breakout Sessions: where NanoInnovation gets personal. Some of the most memorable moments at NanoInnovation don't happen on the main stage. They happen in the *Breakout Sessions* - the agile, focused format that has become one of the most distinctive features of the conference, and that will once again enrich the programme of *NanoInnovation 2026*. A Breakout Session is a compact thematic session running in parallel with the main ...

«Non faccio per vantarmi, ma io sono una delle più grandi scienziate del mondo». Sara si presenta così, e i titoli le danno ragione: MIT, CERN, Caltech, la Sorbona; tre lauree, due dottorati, pubblicazioni su Nature e Science, centinaia di brevetti internazionali e un’invenzione destinata a cambiare la vita di milioni di persone. Ha però un «difetto» che nessun curriculum sembra riuscire a compensare: è una donna bellissima, con un passato da modella. Da questo paradosso...

Five routes invite participants to discover Rome beyond the scientific programme. Tours will be scheduled during the conference according to the preferences collected through the expression-of-interest form.
