Congratulations to Beatrice Sottini, PhD Student (supervisor: Prof. Lina Altomare), who won the INSTM Award at INSTM Young Researchers’ Forum (Naples, 9-10 October 2025).

The event has served as a platform for networking and collaboration between the youngest members of both the INSTM consortium and SCI, who specialize in Materials Science, Technology, and Chemistry in its various branches. All the awards, intended for the best oral presentations, recognized the results achieved but also testified to the trust placed in the new generations of scientists and their ability to grow and contribute innovative ideas to the future of research.
