Workshops
ILAMP promotes annual international workshops to gather high-profile scientists working on specific topics of relevance for the ILAMP activities.
The format of the workshops is that of informal and focused few-days meetings with significant space for discussions and interactions among invited scientists, ILAMP scientists, students and other guests.
29-30 September 2025
International Workshop
Light interaction with nano and micro objects is a challenging field with many potential applications, ranging from biological systems to nanoplastics. When the light wavelength is approaching the system dimension, effects such as multiple scattering may have to be included in models or simulations to establish a morphology/refractive index relationship.
The workshop aims to bring together expert from adjacent fields to discuss the current developments of the experimental techniques and of the modelling issues to include effects beyond e.g. the Mie theory in the interpretation of experimental data.

International Workshop
Nanostructured oxides and carbon materials represent an extremely rich playground for many applications, ranging from sensing to photodetectors, from photovoltaics to photocatalysis. These materials are expected to meet the requirements on sustainability practices and the need for new ideas to boost the energy transition.
In this Workshop, we focus on nanostructured oxides and carbon materials addressing their role in applications and devices. Attention will be paid to functionalization and doping, as well as to the opportunity provided by ab-initio calculations to disclose the mechanisms underlying devices operation.
Bringing together junior and senior scientists from the nanoscience research community we aim to offer participants a perspective on novel approaches to device development starting from nanomaterials surfaces and interfaces.
The workshop hosts three Sessions: nanostructured oxides, nanostructured carbon, and ab-initio methods.

International Workshop
Barely ten years after the Physics Nobel prize was awarded for research on graphene, nanostructered carbon materials still represent an extremely rich playground for many applications, ranging from sensing to photodectors, from photovoltaics to photocatalysis. In this Workshop, which also celebrates the 10th anniversary of I-Lamp, the hosting Institution, we will focus on graphene, a turning point in nanoscience and physics, bridging what was understood in prior nanostructered carbon forms (e.g. CNT) into the domain of 2D materials and platforms. At the same time, emerging properties of graphene such as twisted graphene still provide new challenges, opening novel perspectives in our capability to exploit the 2D materials at the nanoscale. Bringing together junior and senior scientists from the nanoscience research community we aim to offer participants a perspective on novel approaches to carbon nanostructure applications.

International Workshop
How Interdisciplinarity is shaping the future of scientific research
Interdisciplinarity combines methods and insights of diverse disciplines into the pursuit of a common task. Often, interdisciplinarity succeed where separate disciplines fail.
In this workshop we meet the external components of the scientific committee of I-LAMP that will give us a perspective on their current activities and how interdisciplinarity is characterizing their work. It will be evident the role of basic research even in industry R&D.
The speakers will also display novel opportunities and future scenarios for young students and researchers.

International Workshop
How microscopy techniques are changing the way we see science.
Microscopy techniques are revolutionizing the way we think and do science.
The workshop will focus on the impact of microscopy on the way we tackle some of the most intriguing problems in biology and condensed matter physics: from inner mechanisms of cells to material characterization at the nanoscale.
A selection of prominent researchers will bring us into this important field and will present novel opportunities and future scenarios for young students and researchers.
It will be evident the crucial role of basic research in leading the microscopy revolution and in boosting the application to technology-oriented businesses.
Question and Answer time will give participants the opportunity of interacting with the speakers.

The International Workshop on Disordered Systems is a meeting gathering people from different skills and communities, theoreticians and experimentalists, having as common research activity disorder systems.
This meeting has been held with great success every two years starting in 1998 (Arica, Chile) and the last two times in Benasque, Spain and San Antonio, Texas.
This year the workshop will be centered on the following topics:
- Quantum transport in nanosystems and application to biological systems
