International Summer School on Natural Products (ISSNP)

The International Summer School on Natural Products (ISSNP) was established in 2015 with the aim of continuing the scientific and higher education tradition of the School of Natural Substances and Biorganic Chemistry, founded in 2003, in an international key.

The goal of the ISSNP is to contribute to the interdisciplinary training of young researchers in the field of Natural Products.

The lessons held by industry experts are accompanied by interactive sessions dedicated to the transfer of "oriented transferable skills", focused on the issues of communication and dissemination, as well as managerial skills. Now in its fifth edition, for ten years now the school has seen more than 60 students (of which about 40% are foreigners) per cycle and receives continuous feedback from these thanks to the interactive site it has equipped with.

The fifth edition will be held in Maratea from 2 to 7 July 2023 and will be organized in four thematic sessions:

• Natural products & drug discovery
• Biosensing
• Food & Cosmetics
• From genes to molecules

In collaboration with Indena (www.indena.com), the ISSNP is pleased to announce the 2nd Edition of the Biennial Award "Biagio Alberto Della Beffa". Among the participants at ISSNP, three will be selected who will receive a cash prize of €5,000 and a 6-month scholarship at the Indena headquarters in Milan (I).
