NIB Info Day for Master Students of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ljubljana under the supervision of Prof. Irena Mlinaric-Rascan

🌟 Exciting Science at the National Institute of Biology! 🌟

The NESTOR Project on nanozymes was presented to students from the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ljubljana, at the National Institute of Biology (NIB)—a partner in this groundbreaking initiative! 🧪✨ This cutting-edge research explores the potential of nanozymes—innovative nanomaterials mimicking enzyme activity—to revolutionize medicine, biotechnology, and environmental protection.

🎓 The event at NIB sparked curiosity and inspired the next generation of scientists to explore the fascinating world of nanotechnology and its limitless applications.

💡 Stay tuned for more updates on our journey to innovation with #NESTORProject!

ICFPM 25 International Conference on Fine Particle Magnetism


Dear NESTOR Project Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to the 12th edition of the International Conference on Fine Particle Magnetism – ICFPM 2025, to be held in San Carlos de Bariloche, Patagonia – Argentina. From October 19 to 23, 2025, a new chapter of the ICFPM series Conferences will bring together international researchers working in Magnetic Nanoparticles.

The scope of the meeting is to bring together researchers working on Magnetic Nanoparticles to share and discuss their most recent results and future perspectives of the area. 

The main topics of interest are:

1. Synthesis, characterization and functionalization

2. Theory and modeling

3. Fundamental Properties

4. Experimental techniques

5. Data storage & energy applications

6. Live science & biomedical applications

7. Environment applications

Friday, October 25th is dedicated exclusively to the NESTOR Workshop. The official announcement is not yet published on the website. We will make it in the next circular, but please save the day. We attach the first circular of the ICFPM 2025. You may distribute it among potential interested colleagues. We hope you can participate in it and we will meet in Bariloche next year.

Best wishes,

Elin Winkler – Roberto Zysler

Chairmen ICFPM 2025
