2nd Panacea User Meeting – Venue – Florence

The Meeting Location: Auditorium Sant’Apollonia

The Auditorium of Santa Apollonia is obtained from the Monastic Church of the complex of Santa Apollonia. The conference area has two rooms: the Auditorium and the Poccetti Room with a capacity of 200 and 40 seats, respectively.

Address:
Via S. Gallo, 25, 50129 Florence, Italy

Auditorium Sant’Apollonia

Florence, Italy: cradle of the Renaissance

Florence's museums, palaces, and churches house some of the greatest artistic treasures in the world. The most popular and important sites in Florence include the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Uffizi, the Bargello, and the Accademia. The churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce are veritable art galleries, and the library of San Lorenzo is a magnificent exhibition of Michelangelo's architectural genius. Wander some of the oldest streets in the city until you reach the Arno River, cross the Ponte Vecchio, and experience the "newest" area of Florence, the Oltrarno. Be sure to set aside time to see the vast and varied art collection housed in the Pitti Palace. When you grow weary of museums and monuments, head outdoors. Spend a day at the Boboli Gardens or climb the hill to the church of San Miniato al Monte to experience an enchanting view of Florence, Italy.

Point of Interest

  • The Florence Cathedral: Santa Maria del Fiore is one of the largest churches in the world. The plan consists of a triple-nave basilica with the presbytery area nested within, dominated by the large octagon of the immense dome, around which are three radial apses (or “tribunes”), each consisting of five chapels. The cathedral is 153 meters (502 feet) in length, 90 meters (295 feet) wide at the transept, and 90 meters high from floor to base of the dome lantern. The title “Santa Maria del Fiore” (Our Lady of the flower) alludes to the name of the city, "Florentia", or “city of flowers”, “destined to bloom”, and to its emblem, the Florentine lily.
  • Galleria degli Uffizi: The Gallery entirely occupies the first and second floors of the large building constructed between 1560 and 1580 and designed by Giorgio Vasari. It is famous worldwide for its outstanding collections of ancient sculptures and paintings (from the Middle Ages to the Modern period).
    10000000000002580000017C129D5DB743B356DC
  • Galleria dell’Accademia: The foundation of the Galleria dates back to 1784, when the Grand Duke of Tuscany Pietro Leopoldo reorganized the Academy of Arts of Design in Florence, founded in 1563 by Cosimo I de ‘Medici, in the modern Academy of Fine Arts.

  • Palazzo Pitti: According to Vasari, Palazzo Pitti (Pitti Palace) was designed by Brunelleschi even though it has not been proven. The construction of this imposing building was done during the second half of the 15th century. This work commissioned by the Florentine merchant Luca Pitti, friend and ally of Cosimo de Medici, was made by Brunelleschi’s apprentice, Luca Fancelli. Luca Pitti wanted his residence to be the most imposing in the city. Pitti bought all the houses between his new palace and the footpath of the hill to construct the Boboli Gardens or in Italian Giardino di Boboli.

Day 1 - https://meet.google.com/fkh-nioh-fnf (closed)

Day 2 - https://meet.google.com/mnm-iups-gen (closed)

A two-day European forum for high-level discussions between academic and industrial users, and consortium partners on the latest developments in solid-state NMR spectroscopy and their applications in contemporary chemistry and materials research.

The program was structured into six distinct symposiums, each centered around a different research talk for solid-state NMR, additional speakers and a round table were also foreseen. Each symposium, guided by a prominent scientist, featured an academic overview of the theme, a presentation from a PANACEA network user, and one from an industrial expert.

The first day, Wednesday 15th of November, was centered around the subsequent subjects:

  • Solid-state NMR for pharmaceutical research
  • Solid-state NMR at the border between chemistry and biology
  • Self-assembly and properties of biogenic carbonates and mesostructured silica- protein materials”
  • Solid-state NMR instrumentation, software and other perspectives
  • Solid-state NMR for polymers, biopolymers and biomaterials

At the end of the day a festive dinner was organized by the hosts creating synergies and further interesting discussions among participants (Trattoria Zà Zà - https://www.trattoriazaza.it/en/).

The second day, Thursday 16th of November, was centered around the subsequent subjects:

  • Solid-state NMR for energy material and sustainability
  • Round table : Eastern European NMR infrastructures
  • Atomic Resolution Structures of Amyloid Fibrils
  • Solid-state NMR for inorganic and hybrid materials


This meeting adopted a hybrid format, combining a dynamic GMeet webinar with an in-person event in the captivating Auditorium of Sant’Apollonia, in the heart of Florence.

The agenda also included several scheduled discussions and aims to encourage interactions among participants, whether attending remotely or on-site.
