The Early Career Researcher eMarathon

On 10^th December, 2024, the ISGS will launch a new initiative, the Sol-Gel Early-Career-Researcher eMarathon. The eMarathon will involve a series of lectures by early-career researchers (ECRs), with each lecture being of 30 minutes duration with an additional 10 minutes for questions. Our goal is to showcase the depth and diversity of the sol-gel research being undertaken by our ECRs and to provide an opportunity for them to present their work to an international audience in a relaxed, online forum.

We look forward to your participation in the inaugural ECR eMarathon and to your support of our ECRs, the future leaders of the sol-gel community of practice.

ISGS is an international, interdisciplinary, not-for-profit organization whose primary purpose and objective is the advancement of sol-gel science and technology. ISGS aims are both to represent the particular needs and aspirations of the international sol-gel community and to support this sol-gel community.

Since the inception of the highly successful Sol-Gel Workshop series in Padova during 1981, sol-gel science and technology has evolved from its origins within traditional materials science (mainly glass and ceramics) to become an extraordinarily multidisciplinary area of research, spanning chemistry, physics, biology, materials science and nanotechnology.

ISGS, grouping of scientists who are interested in sol-gel science and technology at the begining, evolved over time in a professional, fully functional, scientific society.
