University of Milan Webinar Series: Leadership and Communication in Research
Join us for a two-part webinar series led by distinguished professors from the University of Milan, exploring the intricacies of research management and scientific communication. As part of the "Best Practice Transfer" initiative, these sessions provide insights from leaders in the field on how to successfully navigate European projects, coordinate research teams, and communicate scientific findings to the public.
Event Details:
Webinar 1: "Behind the Scenes of a European Project: Research Team Leadership and Collaboration"
Speaker: Prof. Fulvio Gandolfi, Full Professor of Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals at the University of Milan.
He has been working in the field of biotechnology since the mid ‘80s. His research has spanned from embryology, ovarian physiology, transgenesis, stem cells to cell reprogramming, developing in vitro models. Now he is working on an advanced model of the fish intestine for developing sustainable diets, evaluating single nutrients or preventing microplastic transfer into the human food chain. He is supported by an EIC Pathfinder grant that has evolved in a Proof-of-concept study supported by private investors.
Topics Covered: Coordinating activities, managing resources, and tracking project progress.
