NEWS

In the summer of 2008, Dr. Mauro Ferrari and his wife Paola, invited a close group of nanoscientist friends to Gagliato. These friends were world leaders in nanotechnology, and spontaneously engaged in four days of intense, format-free scientific discussions, interspersed with trips to the beach, local folklore, debates with the local townsfolk, and family-style banquets. The innovative thinking and collaborations born from this gathering inspired the group to continue meeting annually, inviting new experts to join in the venture each year at the end of july.

Our objectives

To offer a unique venue for in-depth discussions among global experts on novel solutions to unmet medical challenges

To encourage collaborations, partnership and exchanges among scientists, business leaders, young researchers, innovators in all fields, and creative minds

Gagliato

Gagliato is a small town in the southernmost region of the Italian peninsula. It is nestled on a hillside, a ten minute drive from the sea, and a world away from the pace and lifestyle of the technology sector.

What we do

We engage brilliant minds and inspire young ones

Accomodation

ACCOMMODATIONS There are no hotels in Gagliato, except for the beautiful and recently opened Bed&Breakfast L’Alba, with a limited number of rooms (which we take over entirely with our NanoGagliato guests!). We provide accommodation for our guests in private homes in Gagliato. They are modest but wonderfully kept. Some of them have air conditioning. Each apartment or house has a kitchen and one or two baths, and bedrooms to accommodate the parties. All meals will be provided at the Conference and during the excursion. A donation of 100€ per person is suggested to offset the costs of accommodations, meals, and the excursion. If joining for the optional two-day excursion, an additional of 80€ per person is encouraged to cover for transportation, meals, and one night hotel stay.
