Workshop
Young Researchers´School: Tutorial on Scientific Writing and the Editorial Process
Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Valtencir Zucolotto, IFSC / USP
The " Young Researchers´School " aims to develop / improve / strengthen the
skills necessary for researchers to do High Impact science, upon knowing the state of
the art in specific areas. The School will be offered to under and Graduate students
and post-docs.
It is hoped that researchers can optimize their potential in doing research, with regard to:
1) Development of national and international research projects with bold objectives,
and implementation of high-level scientific research. Such an approach is essential to
promote significant advances at the frontier of knowledge of each area.
2) Production of international scientific articles, through appropriate and efficient
writing.
As a result, we expect to collaborate with the formation of high-level
researchers, trained to recognize and act on the
state-of-the-art in their fields, in a way
to generate relevant knowledge and innovation for society.

Symposium Q
3D Printing applied to the development of advanced materials
Scope of the Symposium
3D printing has not only fastened the development of new materials construction solutions, but also driven a renewed interest in existing architectures in materials science and novel designs. The focus of this symposium will be to discuss the state-of-the-art in the development of materials using the 3D-printing technique. Several advances in this field were achieved in the last decade which show the possibilities of using tailored materials, at micro- and nanometric dimensions, for technological applications. The 3D printing is a process for rapid manufacturing objects from 3D model data. Through this process, materials such as metals, ceramics and polymers can be joined to make objects with designed functionalities. Despite achievements in the development of printable materials with improved performance are realistic, some challenges still exist. This symposium will provide multidisciplinary viewpoints on the state-of-the-art on 3D printing science/technology for engineered materials beyond discussions involving physics, chemistry, biology, and other topics. Materials selection, manufacturing objects, final properties and applications will be the main topics of this symposium. Perspectives on the future directions on 3D printing on materials science will also be discussed.
Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas
- 3D printed materials for biomedical applications
- 3D printed materials for analytical applications
- Hydrogels and 3D printing
- Components prepared by 3D printing
- Materials for biotechnology
- Cell laden materials for 3D printing
- Selection of materials suitable for 3D printing
- Rapid prototypes by 3D printing
