Our group is going to participate to the “Notte Europea dei Ricercatori” (“European Night of Researchers”) on 27th November 2020.
We are going to present our research in the frame of the POR-FESR project financed by the Regione Emilia-Romagna on the call “Progetti di ricerca e innovazione per lo sviluppo di soluzioni finalizzate al contrasto dell’epidemia da COVID-19”:

“Progetto VIKI (VIrus KIller): dispositivo di sanificazione a contrasto del trasporto indoor di bioaerosol”.

Further details on the event can be found on the official webpage.
