Discover Materials: the pathway to explore materials as activators of the challenges of the future

Today we are engaged in promoting science for the beneft of the whole world and to create a better standard of living for all. This implies that we need to exploit the activators able to answer to the demands of such relevant challenges as far as creativity and innovation are concerned. In this respect, materials ofer a variety of solutions that stem from, or have been enhanced by, the perception we have that “Materials are everywhere—even in our body!”. Moreover, we must avoid residues as waste through reuse, recycling and circularity to serve a Green Agenda and bring prosperity for all.
