Vidhya Chittor Viswanathan and Alice Badin from ADVOCATE project together with Ivan Sánchez, University of Granada and Pierre-Jean Superville, a student from the ENSCL, visited the University of Lille in France with an aim to share their research with students, to show them a fresh vision about R&D.
They gave a great presentation about their research fields to students in their 4th and 5th years in the Engineering School. This presentation was followed by another at the LASIR lab at the University which focused on metal contamination in rivers and sediments.
They gave the students a background on environmental chemistry, giving them a base to then show them their research, to give them ideas about what sort of work they could find which is related to chemistry in the field of the environment, and finally, to make them aware of the importance of multidisciplinary research.
In conclusion, they got positive feedback from an evaluation questionnaire which reflected the student’s broad interest in their work. Their presentations were commended for being very accessible and relevant.
