InFlaMe represented at the European Researchers’ Night
Team members of the InFlaMe project participated in the European Researchers’ Night (SHARPER) at the University of Pavia on September 26th.
The event hosted more than 60 science-themed stands, including two for Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo with the SC Microbiologia e Virologia, PIs of the InFlaMe project.
It was an extraordinary event with a great turnout of visitors, aimed at promoting scientific literacy. The Virology team organized engaging activities for both children and adults to raise awareness and share knowledge about flaviviruses.
