Closing down for the first PGSM edition by DAFNAE with 108 delegates from four different Departments of Padova University (DAFNAE, BCA, TESAF e BIOLOGIA). Five scientific sessions with 24 selected talks and 57 poster contributions have been attended also by several external guests from other Italian and foreign institutions. The high scientific quality of both oral and poster presentations together with the large discussion sessions and attendance of master and PhD students, fellowship holders, post-docs, academic staff and technicians give the measure of the value of this 1st PGSM. The familiar atmosphere of a scientific community prone to dialogue and to exchange ideas among different areas and generations is one of the most satisfactory outcomes of this event, which aims also at stimulate future and novel multi-disciplinary collaborations. The social dinner, happily greeting with great satisfaction this first PGSM, wished all participants good luck and forthcoming opportunities for personal and scientific growth, looking forward to the next PGSM editions!
