San Servolo - image leaflet

This symposium, a joint initiative of the pNMR project and the Gruppo Italiano Discussione Risonanze Magnetiche (GIDRM), is meant as a journey into paramagnetic NMR, between theory and experiments, solution and solid-state, with applications ranging from chemistry to biology, including catalysis, battery materials, metalloproteins, and large protein-protein assemblies. It is addressed to an audience of members of the Italian Society, students from Italian Universities, and researchers from the pNMR extended network.

Program

On Wednesday 28th, talks will start at 10h30, and should last 20 minutes, with 10 minutes of discussion.

On Thursday 29th and Friday 30th, each pNMR fellow will present her/his PhD work in front of a jury composed by three PIs, in the presence of his/her supervisor/s, of the other pNMR colleagues, and of other senior scientist with or without a specific knowledge in their field. Each talk should run for about 30 minutes, followed by an exchange with the jury (and the public) for about 30 more minutes.

There are no special rules for the presentations. For the fellows, this will be an opportunity to practice their PhD defence in front of an expert public, and an exercise to summarise clearly state-of-the-art, motivations, challenges, results and perspectives of the work. The members of the public will be encouraged to ask questions and challenge the speaker. Jury members will act as external examiners, and ask fellows questions after their presentations, for example listing the points they did not explain/present correctly in their presentation, and possibly suggesting what they should work on in the remaining time of their PhD.

On Friday afternoon, the two senior ERs, Puneet and Tobias, will present an overview of their research (without a jury).

Here is an overview of the program :

Marco Polo Airport

The “Marco Polo” airport of Venice is on Terra Firma or as the Venetians say: on the firm earth.
It is 12 kilometers from Venice by the road and 10 kilometers by boat across the lagoon.
Marco Polo Venice is also 25 kilometers far from Radicchio/Treviso, 35 kilometers from Padua, 45 kilometers from Jesolo and 65 kilometers from Vicenza.

Access to San Servolo Island

The easiest way to reach the Island from the airport is by boat (2 boats from 2 companies : ALILAGUNA then ACTV).It cost 20€ (one way), and takes about 1h30.

Another solution is to take 1 shuttle bus (ATVO company) at the airport to Venice bus station, and then 2 boats (ACTV). It costs 15.50€, and takes about 1h20-1h40 depending on the correspondence.

The bus + 2 boats option(s) can be seen on a map here, by clicking on TIMETABLES/TRIP PLANNER : http://muoversi.venezia.it/en

Please beware of the waiting times between all connections.
