Researchers' Night 2021
SusWater people of UNITO and POLITO participated at the Researchers' Night 2021 in Torino (September 24, 2021).
Our researchers showed their experiments and explained their projects to young and old, gaining the interest and approval of many people.
European Researchers' Night 2022
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.
European Researchers' Night 2023
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!

Summer School
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. Fabbi, M. Rigoletto.
Chemistry at the service of water reuse
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)-
