Project "Let's be a scientist!"

The project "Let's Be a Scientist!", organised by ABE Italy together with TIGEM (Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine) and the Scuola Superiore Meridionale (SSM), allows the best students from ABE Italy schools to put on a lab coat and have a first-hand experience of the research world. Students are selected through a knowledge- and competence-based test on Biology and Chemistry topics, and they are followed in this experience by a TIGEM researcher and by a bespoke ABE Italy team.
