-GUEST LECTURE The teaching programme will be structured in 4 blocks. Each block will consist of a thematic lecture (2 h) which will be divided in lecturing time and an interactive workshop, where students will be encouraged to engage in discussions about the topics covered in the lectures. 1. 3D printing applications in chemistry. This lecture will cover basic aspects of 3D printing technologies, including a description of the most common techniques. Afterwards, a extensive description of potential applications of chemistry for the development of materials and applications will be undertaken to stimulate ideas and new avenues for the students. 2. Advanced materials for optoelectronics and redox applications. This lecture will introduce advanced cutting edge materials with promising applications in cutting edge scientific and technological fields. The lecture will be divided in three parts. First a general introduction to sustainable future and the role of scientists in developing new materials to address pressing global issues with a specific focus on energy sector decarbonisation. 3. CO2 valorisation to fuels and chemicals. This block will engage with recent methodologies to transform CO2, the most abundant green house gas, into chemicals and fuels, thus netly contributing to the development of carbon neutral and negative societies. An emphasis on the role of chemistry and scientists in the development of sustainable and economically viable alternatives and the inherent challenges will be discussed. 4. Hydrogen storage vectors. The development of renewable energy technologies have inherent challenges related to the fluctuation of energy generation and the need to adequate the generation to the demand. Hence, energy storage becomes crucial. Hydrogen is one of the most popular options being developed. Nevertheless, hydrogen has also associated challenges for its storage and distribution. In this lecture, there will be a discussion about potential hydrogen storage vectors, including advantages, challenges and potential future directions.
