Francesco Scotognella (together with Guglielmo Lanzani) is member of the Erasmus consortium iPen(link is external).

The project objective is to provide innovative photonic education courses applied to nanotechnology.

Francesco Scotognella (together with Guglielmo Lanzani) has been member of the Erasmus OREA consortium. The main objective of the LLP Project ‘Organic Electronics & Applications’ – O.R.E.A. is to design and construct the curriculum of a two year MSc joined degree in the modern field of organic semiconductors. The project main output is going to run as a joined European MSc degree and it will refer to graduate students of Physics, Chemistry, Material and Electrical & Electronic Engineer Departments.
