SUMMARY:WG3 Virtual Symposium - Young Scientists’ Forum 2025 (YSF2025)
DESCRIPTION:Experimental and Computational Approaches for Studying Multicomponent Confined Systems\n\nOrganizers: Alessandro Fortunelli\, Lyudmila Moskaleva\, Petra Čechová\, and Markéta Paloncyova)\n\nDate: 17 December 2025 09:00-17:00\n\nThis is the 2nd Edition of the WG3 Virtual Symposium – Young Scientists’ Forum – is designed to serve as a platform for Young Researchers and Investigators (YRIs) within the Working Group 3 and the entire Action to present and discuss their research on confined molecular systems. The YSF2025 aims at stimulating discussions on the latest advancements in nanocluster research\, encouraging active participation and knowledge exchange among attendees. By stimulating active participation and knowledge exchange\, the symposium aims to strengthen professional relationships and promote future collaborative projects both within and outside WG3. Building on the success of the previous virtual meetings of WG3: S-1 and S-2 held in 2022 and 2023\, and the 1st Edition of the Young Scientists’ Forum in 2024\, the event will follow a Faraday-Discussion format\, which will allow attendees to discuss their research in a collaborative environment. The Faraday Discussion format foresees that some materials of the presentations are available ahead of the discussion (as DOIs\, slides\, or videos)\, then allowing for their very short presentation by the presenters and reserving a much longer time for the ensuing discussions and questions from the other participants (grounded on the previously available materials). In YSF these two types of contributions are expected: (i) Talks: 5-minute presentations followed by 15 minutes discussion\, (ii) Brief Presentations: Flash presentations of 2 minutes followed by 8 minutes discussion. Furthermore\, the symposium will be co-organized and co-chaired by YRIs\, ensuring a collaborative approach to highlight and promote the work of early-stage scientists (doctoral candidates\, postdocs\, Young Researchers\, within the first 10 years of their research activity\, since graduation).\n\nYSF2025-Program-with-Titles-of-Presentations.pdf\nYSF2025-Program with Titles of Presentations\n\nRequest of oral presentations are now closed\, but interested researchers can still attend by registering filling up the google form at:\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsvPtbHZEj7q0wBVCEIhGLifPs4sJBAP0xGlXi9wPAab_u4A/viewform\n\n– instructions on the zoom link to attend\, as well as the DOIs of the oral presentations\, will be sent to registered participants before the event.

The lecture hall is located in the city center of Bologna: starting from the Two Towers (Due Torri)\, which are the symbol of Bologna and visible from everywhere in the city center\, you have to walk along via Zamboni for about 500 meters: \n \nBologna is medieval city\, and this corresponds to the current city center. It was full of towers. Nowadays\, there are only a few of them and the “Two Towers” became the symbol of the city. Bologna is famous for its cuisine and its porticos\, which have recently become a UNESCO heritage site. Bologna also hosts the oldest university in the world. \n \nMore tourist info: https://www.bolognawelcome.com/en \nAccommodation\nParticipants to the conference are kindly requested to take care of the booking of their accommodation.

These are restaurants in the area surrounding the lecture hall (on the website information on the menu\, specialties and prices can be found): \n\nTrattoria Belle Arti https://www.trattoriapizzeriabellearti.it/\nOsteria dell’Orsa https://www.osteriadellorsa.com/\nTrattoria Anna Maria http://www.trattoriannamaria.com/\nTrattoria Le Moline https://www.lemoline.it/\nPizzeria Berberè https://www.berberepizza.it/berbere-bologna/\nCa’ Pelletti https://www.ca-pelletti.it/\nScuderia https://scuderia.futurefood.network/\nLa Sartoria Gastronomica https://www.sartoriagastronomica.it\n\nThose above provide only a limited selection. The area surrounding the lecture hall is full of restaurants\, pizzerie and places where to get typical street food. \nTravel (How to get to Bologna)\nBologna is strategically well located in the heart of northern Italy\, a long-standing transit\, exchange and destination hub for many major travel infrastructures. Located on the Via Emilia\, the city lies a short distance from the sea of the Romagna Riviera and towns such as Florence (35 minutes by high-speed train)\, Venice (1.5 hours by high-speed train)\, Milan (1 hour by high-speed train)\, and Verona (less than 1 hour by train). It can therefore be easily reached by car\, train\, bus or plane. \n\nBY TRAIN – Bologna’s Central Station serves as final destination for a large number of local\, intercity and high-speed trains connecting neighboring locations and the country’s main cities. Bologna’s Central Station is a main hub: the vast majority of long-distance (high-speed) trains from north to south and vice versa stops in Bologna. Please\, visit Trenitalia (https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html) or Italo (https://www.italotreno.com/en/booking-train-ticket) websites to find out about trains inbound to Bologna. Another option is offered by Trainline (https://www.thetrainline.com/it).\nThe station is also the terminus of the Marconi Express\, a monorail link service to Bologna airport.\nBY PLANE – Guglielmo Marconi Airport is located about 10 km from the city center. Dozens of flights from Italian and international destinations land here daily: most of the European cities are directly connected to Bologna. The airport is connected to the central railway station by the Marconi Express service\, which takes only 7 minutes to cover the route. The monorail costs €12\,80 one way and €23\,30 round trip.\nIn addition to this\, from 19 May 2025\, is the new “Q” BUS CONNECTION Bologna Airport with Maggiore Hospital and Central Station. The urban fare of €2.30 is valid for all urban tickets and integration with Marconi Express. Electric buses\, easy purchase (ticket machines\, contactless\, Tper sales points\, on the website\, and on the Roger app). Frequency: 30 minutes.\nFrom the airport you can also reach the center by taxi. A ride to/from the center takes about 20-30 minutes (up to 40 minutes depending on the traffic) with the price ranging from € 20.00-25.00.\nBY CAR – If you travel by car\, you may want to know that Bologna is one of Italy’s major motorway junctions\, connecting the north and south of the country. Bologna is located along the A1\, only 1 hour from Florence (southbound)\, and just over 2 hours from Milan (northbound). Bologna is also the gateway to the A14\, running along the Adriatic side of the peninsula from Romagna all the way to Taranto. Another important thoroughfare is the A13 towards Veneto\, connecting Bologna to cities such as Ferrara and Padua\, the gateway to Venice.\nIf you are travelling by car\, you should know that city center is inside at the Limited Access Zone (ZTL) from 7am to 8pm. Please\, check with your host (hotel\, apartment owner\, …) how to get the permission to enter ZTL.\nBY BUS  – Buses arriving from outside the city travel primarily from the main coach station – located (Piazza XX Settembre) a short distance from the train station – with connections throughout Italy and even to foreign countries.

SUMMARY:Second Virtual Meeting of the COSY WG3
DESCRIPTION:Control at the Nanoscale – Manipulating Structure and Properties of Nanoscale Clusters. Recent Experimental and Theoretical Advances and Future Challenges\nLik to registration:\nhttps://forms.gle/p9bvTfaYwgiYxJCK7\nThe 2nd WG3 Virtual Symposium will focus on recent experimental and theoretical advancements in the field of nanoscale cluster science\, as well as the future challenges and opportunities. The topics will include: 1) The controlled and precise synthesis and characterization of nanoscale clusters with different compositions\, sizes\, shapes\, and structures; 2) The manipulation and control of nanoscale clusters using external stimuli such as light\, electric fields\, magnetic fields\, or chemical agents; 3) The investigation of the structure-property relationships of nanoscale clusters and their controlled applications in catalysis\, optics\, electronics\, energy conversion\, and storage; 4)The development of computational methods and models for simulating and accurately predicting the properties of nanoscale clusters. The symposium will bring together researchers from different disciplines and backgrounds who share a common interest in nanoscale cluster science at the extreme limit of control. It will provide a platform for exchanging ideas\, presenting results\, discussing challenges\, and fostering collaborations. The symposium may also feature external invited speakers who are leading experts in the field\, as well as presentations in dedicated sessions (see below) and panel discussions. The primary goal of WG3 S-2 is to make the point within the COSY community on the general topic of control at the nanoscale. Transfer of knowledge among the symposium participants\, dissemination of the results already achieved within the framework of WG3\, and positioning in terms of short- and medium-term perspectives will be the main goals of the symposium. Additionally\, the convenience of forming task-force groups (TFGs) on specific topics\, resulting in multi-authored publications will be discussed. An idea is eg that each TFG be led by an experienced researcher and co-led by an early-stage investigator. We will have a dedicated session about possible TFGs and also about collecting suggestions for a WG3 podcast we need to prepare\, please see the google form. \nIn terms of WG3 member contributions\, the program will foresee:\n(1) a limited number of “oral” presentations (Faraday Discussions type\, thus\, max 5’ time and 5 pptx slides for the oral presentation + 15’ discussion and Q&A) on recent methodological advances or novel concepts in the field (both experimental and theoretical);\n(2) a larger number of “poster” presentations (one or few\, please no more than 3! interesting case-studies/systems per presenter)\, supported by 2’ time flash presentations and 2 pptx slides.\n\nContributions from young scientists\, and colleagues from ITC countries and/or lesser represented gender are welcome.\n  \nConference Schedule – Essential Program (November 27th\, 2023)\n\n\n\nTime\nEvent\nChairs\nPresenters\n\n\n08:50 – 09:10\nRegistration and Forewords\n\n\n\n\n09:10 – 10:40\nSession 1 – Small Clusters\nFortunelli & Roongcharoen\nLopez-Quintela (L)\, Carrol (L)\, Krupka (S)\, Sanader-Maršić (S)\, Quintana-González (S)\, Shi (S)\n\n\n10:40 – 10:50\nShort Break\n\n\n\n\n10:50 – 12:20\nSession 2 – Larger Clusters and Particles\nMoskaleva & Carroll\nMelani (L)\, Barrabés (L)\, Banu (S)\, Bruix (S)\, Laverdure (S)\, Roongcharoen (S)\, Fortunelli/Kadam (S)\n\n\n12:20 – 13:20\nLunch Break\n\n\n\n\n13:20 – 14:50\nSession 3 – Complex Processes under Confinement\nGiovannini & Šekutor\nMudric (L)\, Rupprechter (L)\, Zinzani (S)\, Marques (S)\, Santos (S)\, Ólafsson (S)\, Lushchikova (S)\n\n\n14:50 – 15:00\nShort Break\n\n\n\n\n15:00 – 16:30\nSession 4 – Optical Properties\nLópez & Melani\nVanzan (L)\, Giovannini (L)\, Stener (S)\, Striccoli (S-1)\, Striccoli (S-2)\, Naumkin (S)\, Belo (S)\n\n\n16:30 – 17:00\nSession 5 – Discussion on podcast and TFGs\nFortunelli & Moskaleva\n\n\n\n\n> \nProgram with Titles of Presentations and DOIs/Links\n\n\n\nTime\nEvent\nChairs\nPresenters\n\n\n08:50 – 09:10\nRegistration and Forewords\n\n\n\n\n09:10 – 10:40\nSession 1 – Small Clusters\nFortunelli & Roongcharoen\nM.

SUMMARY:Experiment and Theory Join Forces on Characterization of Confined Molecular Systems
DESCRIPTION:Experiment and Theory Join Forces on Characterization of Confined Molecular Systems\nWorking Group 3 meeting.\nCOSY WG3 S-1 Symposium \nOne-day virtual meeting of WG3: WG3 S-1\, held on December 19\, 2022\, 09:30-17:30 via zoom. \nWG3 and other WG participants convened virtually to discuss the latest advances in experimental and theoretical techniques for characterization/property-prediction and how they can benefit from closer interactions and synergies. Focus was on advanced characterization (ideally\, high-resolution and in-situ) and its theoretical modeling. \nThe total number of attendees was 61. \nWG3 S-1 was structured in 5 sessions with two longer (L) and 4 shorter (S) presentations: \nSession 1 – Microscopic Models\nSession 2 – Vibrations\nSession 3 – Restructuring\nSession 4 – Reactivity\nSession 5 – Response \nOf the longer presentations\, 50% were given by females; of the shorter presentations\, 40% were given by females. 5 presentations were given by young researchers. \nIt was organized according to a Faraday-Discussions-type format: each one of the 5 sessions of 72′ started with 2 longer oral presentations (lasting around 5′) followed by their open discussion up to 15′ for each presentation\, then 4 shorter oral presentations (around 2-3′) followed by their open discussion up to 5-6′ for each presentation. Presenters were asked in advance to share the DOIs of the papers they would present so that attendees could look at the papers in advance\, and the oral presentations could be essential to leave room to an articulated and fruitful discussion. Again in a Faraday-Discussions-type format\, Questions & Answers were collected with the help of all participants either presenting or making questions and shared for stronger impact at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i6xGDRwGYE6ocaDkv55Agm8QHE9vSKcn/edit. \nIn connection with reporting for the 1st GM\, we created a form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd0VO8QdBdadn_QKRnhKQAfHS6hmSkiwQ_01GD-_viqF-WFFw/viewform\, and asked a few questions on the WG3 S-1 meeting\, restricted to WG3 members. We collected 44 responses\, of which 30 approved and encouraged similar symposia in the future\, 7 approved but would prefer in-person symposia in the future\, and 2 did not approve\, although they did not attend WG3 S-1\, and 6 did not answer perhaps because they were unable to attend WG3 S-1. \nEssential Program\n09:20 – 09:30 Registration and Forewords\n09:30 – 10:42 Session 1 – Microscopic Models\nPresenters: Vajda (L)\, Palmer (L)\, Bonačić-Koutecky &\nMravak (S-1)\, Molina (S)\, Ólafsson (S)\, Fortunelli (S-1)\n10:42 – 11:00 Short Break\n11:00 – 12:12 Session 2 – Vibrations\nPresenters: Bürgi (L)\, Asmis (L)\, Šekutor (S)\, Bacanu\n(S)\, Stener (S-1)\, Fortunelli (S-2)\n12:12 – 13:00 Lunch Break\n13:00 – 14:12 Session 3 – Restructuring\nPresenters: López (L)\, Honkala (L)\, Bonačić-Koutecky &\nPerić-Bakulić (S-2)\, Neyman (S)\, Bruix (S)\, Marques (S)\n14:12 – 14:30 Short Break\n14:30 – 15:42 Session 4 – Reactivity\nPresenters: Barrabés (L)\, Baletto (L)\, Medved (S)\,\nLópez (S)\, Langner (S)\, Moskaleva (S)\n15:42 – 16:00 Short Break\n16:00 – 17:12 Session 5 – Response\nPresenters: Stener (L)\, Cappelli (L)\, Handelman (S)\,\nIvanova (S)\, Stener (S-2)\, Fortunelli (S-3) \n  \nOrganizers\nAlessandro Fortunelli and Lyudmila Moskaleva
