9-Jun-2016 - Dr Pagliaro has delivered his review of a research project in nanoscale science and technology submitted to the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

The DAAD is a publicly-funded independent organization of higher education institutions in Germany. Each year DAAD provides information and financial support to over 67,000 highly-qualified students and faculty for international research and study.

Co-financed by the Marie Curie Programme of the European Union (FP7/COFUND), the programme P.R.I.M.E. (Postdoctoral Researchers International Mobility Experience) aimed to outstanding postdoctoral researchers from all disciplines and nationalities provides funding in the form of salaries for a total funding period of 18 months, of which the first 12 months have to be spent abroad at a foreign university or research institution and the following 6 months (re-integration phase) at a German university.

Mario Pagliaro is a chemistry and energy scholar based at Italy's CNR where he leads a research Group whose work is developed in co-operation with leading researchers based in 20 countries. His achievements are reflected in over 160 frequently cited research papers, twenty books, and several book chapters.

DAAD has asked Dr Pagliaro's assistance in light of professional reputation and contribution to the scientific discipline addressed by the proposed topic.

So far, Dr Pagliaro has reviewed important research projects for France's Research Agency, the Pazi Foundation, the Royal Society, Estonian Research Council, Israel Science Foundation the US-Israel Binational Science Foundation and ACS Petroleum Research Fund.
