The international research team co-ordinated by Dr Francesca Arcudi and Professor Luka Ðorđević from the Department of Chemical Sciences at the University of Padua and Professor Joe Hupp from Northwestern University recently reported an efficient strategy to convert acetylene to ethylene.
The new call for proposals ‘Uni-Impresa 2024’, the University of Padua’s co-financing programme established in 2017 with the aim of fostering collaboration between the University and the business world and contributing to mutual enrichment in terms of innovation, economic development and social development of the territory, is now open.
The results of the research project, which saw the Environmental Health Engineering group of the University of Padua engaged in a two-month crossing of the Atlantic Ocean to sample plastics in ocean waters, have been published in STOTEN – Science of Total Environment, a leading journal in the field.
