DEADLINES

The second edition of the International Summer School on Natural Products (ISSNP) will be held in Naples on July 3-7, 2017.
The School on Natural Products is sponsored by the Division of Organic Chemistry of the Italian Chemical Society (SCI) and organized under the direction of the Department of Pharmacy (University of Naples), the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, and the Institute of Biomolecular Chemistry (ICB-CNR). ISSNP 2017 is a five-days School consisting of lessons delivered by acclaimed scientists from academia and industry, comprehensive talks, oral and poster presentations by participants on innovative and emerging themes of research at the cutting-edge of natural products drug, cosmetic and food research.

This year we have scheduled 3 interactive-sessions: the first named "From ideas to business plan" leaded by Prof. Chereau from the Skema Business School; the second dedicated to "Soft skills", a training lab session aimed to improve oral and written communication skills; the last one dedicated to patents with the participation of dr. Paola Lauro from the European Patent Office. All sessions will be in a non-formal atmosphere where young researchers and acclaimed scientists will have time to talk, share ideas and have fun.

All students are expected to submit an abstract and may apply for a short oral communication and/or a poster presentation.

The poster communications are briefly presented by the authors during lively open sessions, in line with the main aim of the school to create a friendly environment and provide the opportunity to young scientists, post-docs and PhD students to meet leading scientists of high international repute in a very relaxed and informal atmosphere.

Have a glance on the scheduled programme through the link: http://www.issnp.org

Please be informed that the "Abstract Submission" procedure for ISSNP 2017 is now available through School web site. Authors are asked to submit a one page abstract using the information available at the web link: http://www.issnp.org/en/abstract-info.php Kindly feel free to contact us (This email address is being protected from spambots.

La nuova rete dell’energia per l’Isola di Capri
Terna

The aim of the project is to monitor the marine environment possibly affected by the cable laying and the commissioning of the power line by 150 kV "New SE Capri - Torre A. Center" by the Italian Terna network, the national operator for electricity transmission. The construction of the power line will increase the safety and reliability of electricity supply to the island of Capri, with the objective of minimizing the risk of blackouts especially in summer. This work involves the construction of a 150 kV AC of a total length of 31 km (including 30 submarines and 1 on mainland) which will link the current station of Torre Annunziata with a new power station in Capri.

Environmental monitoring in the area affected by the laying of the cables is designed to control marine ecosystems, highlighting any possible situation of stress or environmental impact derived from the different phases of construction of the plant. In particular, the planned investigations concern:

1. Chemistry and physic of the water column;
2. Posidonia oceanica beds;
3. Hard bottom habitat (coralligenous);
4. Macrozoobenthos;
5. Chemical, physical and biological tests of sediments
6. Morphology and bathymetry of the seabed.

Monitoring operations will be conducted according to a precise timetable: i) white phase (pre-construction surveys), ii) phase of the execution of the works and iii) end of installation (about 24 months after the end of the work).

What we do
We are the partner in charge of the chemical analyses of the water column. In particular, we take care of sampling and subsequent analysis of nutrients (organic and inorganic ) , phytoplankton biomass ( chlorophyll a) and total suspended solids (TSS ).

Partners
CoNISMa (Consorzio Nazionale Interuniversitario per le Scienze del Mare), IAMC-CNR (Istituto per l’Ambiente Marino Costiero), CIBM (Centro Interuniversitario di Biologia Marina ed Ecologia Applicata “G. Bacci”).
