We are honoured to invite you for a meeting with Prof. Armando J.D. Silvestre, who will give a lecture titled "Development of efficient and innovative biomass refining processes using eutectic solvents (format: pdf, rozmiar: 156 kB)fileadmin/pliki/users/186/aktualnosci/MSE_Abstract_A_Silvestre_May2022.pdf (format: pdf, rozmiar: 156 kB)".
Prof. Armando Silvestre is a Full Professor at University of Aveiro, in the Department of Chemistry and CICECO Aveiro Institute of Materials. He is currently Head of the Department of Chemistry and is also a member of CICECO Group 4- Biorefineries, Biobased Materials and Recycling.
He earned his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry in 1994 at the University of Aveiro (UA) and was hired as Auxiliary Professor in the Dept. of Chemistry, UA. In 2002, he was promoted to Associate Professor and earned his Habilitation degree in Chemistry in 2008. He was promoted to Full Professor in 2018.
His research interests are focused on the Biorefinery concept: the sustainable extraction and upgrading of added-value compounds from biomass through the use benign solvents (using ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents); synthesis of new biobased polymers derived from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid; and new functional (nano)composite materials and biomaterials based on biopolymers and cellulose (nano)fibers.

Chief Editor “Nature Chemistry” launches a new Materials Science and Engineering Seminar Series – October 19, 2021 at 15:00 CEST Hosted by the Materials Science and Engineering Research Council West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin
The beginning of the new academic year 2021/22 is the inauguration of another series of lectures within the Materials Science and Engineering seminars. This time the seminar will have a slightly different character, as we will be honoured with the virtual presence of the Chief Editor of "Nature Chemistry" journal - Dr Stuart Cantrill (format: pdf, rozmiar: 111 kB)(Springer Nature), who will give a lecture titled "The nature of chemistry publishing". This talk will take a behind-the-scenes look at Nature Chemistry’s editorial processes, as well as providing some guidance on preparing your paper, including titles, abstracts and graphical abstracts – there will also be some advice on how best to appeal an editorial decision. In addition, there will be a broader consideration of peer-review in general, the wider chemistry publishing landscape and also other aspects related to scientific publishing including metrics (impact factor, altmetrics, and so on) and the use of social media. This is a universal lecture, aimed at the entire academic community.
The seminar will take place on October 19, 2021 at 15:00 CEST via the MS Teams platform.
If you are interested in attending, please register by e-mail by 10:00 CEST on October 19, 2021: address informatyk-wtiich@zut.edu.pl
