The SPSAS NanoAgri&Enviro was held successfully

The Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) held the Sao Paulo School for Advanced Science in Nanotechnology, Agriculture, and the Environment, SPSAS NanoAgri&Enviro) from July 3 to 14, 2023. This event received funding from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and brought together approximately 90 participants from teaching and research institutions in 24 countries and speakers with solid experience, scientific leadership, and excellence in research on nanoscience, artificial intelligence, and agro-environmental issues.

Besides seminars and scientific presentations, the participants had access to hands-on experiments and technical visits to world-class facilities and specialized laboratories at important institutions in the state of São Paulo: the University of São Paulo (USP) in Piracicaba, São Paulo State University (UNESP) and the University of Sorocaba (UNISO) in Sorocaba, and the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) in São Carlos.

The SPSAS model provides a multidisciplinary environment that encourages the exchange of experiences and integration of knowledge and innovation on topics that are globally important, like safe and sustainable application of nanotechnology and advanced materials, particularly in the areas of agriculture, nutrition, and the environment.
