SusWater people of UNITO and POLITO participated at the UNIGHT in Turin (30th September - 1st October 2022).

An engaging experience that involved Suswater's researchers with the aim of enhancing the dialogue between citizens and science and of sharing their research activities to the general public.

SusWater people of UNITO and POLITO participated at the UNIGHT in Turin (29th-30th September 2023).

Like every year, for this edition too, the SusWater's researchers could not miss the appointment!
An event always much appreciated by adults and children!

The whole program of the Researchers' Night 2023 in Italy is available at https://unightproject.eu/en

 Several ERS and ER from UNITO team partecipated at the European Researchers' Night, held on 27th and 28th September 2024 in Turin, in collaboration with the IN2AQUAS research group.

The SusWater project team has addressed this issue by offering the public interactive games, debates and readings for adults and children!

This year, the SusWater ER and ERS participated in Researchers' Night, offering interactive activities for children and adults.
The activity took place in Turin’s Valentino Park on September 27, 2025, in collaboration with the IN2AQUAS group, and was part of the European Researchers’ Night 2025 initiative. A related outreach event was also held on September 26, 2025, in Savigliano (Cuneo, Italy). During both activities, experiments were demonstrated and the project was explained, actively involving elementary and middle school students through hands-on and interactive approaches.

• A SusWater lab has been set up and has been presented by Paola Calza, Elisa Gaggero and Monica Rigoletto to high school students at UNITO during APERTAMENTE “ApertaMenteChimica”, 13th -14th May 2022, University of Turin, Turin, Italy.

• SusWater Lab at University of Torino, Dept. Chemistry (14^th February 2023). It was performed within the framework of GWB2023-Global Women’s Breakfast 2023-Breaking Barriers in Science, organized by IUPAC, with the title “A morning with SusWaterlab@UNITO”. Target group: secondary school students.

Local SusWater team: Paola Calza, Debora Fabbri, Federica Spina, Enzo Laurenti, Mery Malandrino, Agnese Giacomino, Claudio Medana, Elisa Gaggero, Monica Rigoletto, Paolo Inaudi and Marco Sangermano

• SusWater Lab at University of  Torino, Dept. Chemistry (6^th February 2024). Water is a precious and irreplaceable resource for life on earth, but unfortunately it is also a limited resource and increasingly at risk due to multiple factors including pollution and excessive exploitation. What are researchers doing to recover and improve water quality? In this laboratory activity the students will have the opportunity to experiment it "in the field", carrying out some experiments in the laboratory relating to the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants from water by exploiting processes developed in European scientific projects (SusWater, IN2AQUAS) by researchers from the Department of Chemistry.    Audience: students of Secondary schools, Scientific Degree Plan (PLS)-

• SusWater Lab at University of Torino, Dept. Chemistry (20^th February 2025). It was performed with the collaboration of IN2AQUAS team and a PNRR Researcher.  Target group: secondary school students.

Local SusWater team: Paola Calza, Debora Fabbri, Federica Spina, Enzo Laurenti, Mery Malandrino, Agnese Giacomino, Paolo Inaudi, Michela Tramontini, Athanasia Faka and Meagan Mehlhop.

CHEMISTRY: “The thousand faces of water: properties, uses, treatments and reuse”

A journey that, oscillating between the microscopic and the observable, tells the story of the properties of water and the efforts to be made to preserve it, keep it clean and make it available to all

The activity includes an introductory part relating to the properties of water from a chemical point of view. This will be followed by a large laboratory section in which experiments and observations will be carried out on different aspects of water treatment and in particular on innovative methods of treating the most resistant pollutants.

Participants: E. Laurenti, D. Fabbri, M. Rigoletto.

During this event, selected MSCA fellows, students, supervisors and project leaders have been invited to work on the most pressing issues in science and society through a combination of discussions interactive workshops, trainings and networking opportunities.

The Green Technology Expo” Rimini, Italy a leading international event in Europe concerning environmental technologies, specifically focusing on the green and circular economy, waste management, integrated water cycle, and bio-economy. It acts as a crucial meeting point for various stakeholders, including industries, policymakers, research institutions, and public authorities, to discuss and shape environmental policies and strategies. A presentation of SusWater project was showcased during the edition of 2023, 2024 and 2025.
