organize the

1^st Summer School on

Environmental applications of Advanced Oxidation Processes

University of Salerno, Department of Civil Engineering

Fisciano (Italy), June 15-19, 2015

The “1^st Summer School on Environmental applications of AOPs” was held on June 15-19, 2015 in Fisciano (SA) (Italy), at University of Salerno.

The Summer School is among the initiatives organized for School PhD candidates but other PhD students, MSc students, post-doc and professionals were also welcome. Finally, a total of 70 persons among lecturers and PhD students from 15 different countries (Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK) attended to the Summer School.

The Summer School program included lectures on complementary skills, talks on advances in AOPs research and a workshop. The lectures/talks were delivered by School Scientific Committee  members and international experts and they can be downloaded through the active link of the corresponding title from the following program.

The Summer School concluded with the social event where some speakers took off scientist dress to talk about some special place and traditional food from their respective Countries/hometowns. These talks can be downloaded too.
