Mini-workshop on Extracellular Vesicles: from biophysical properties to therapeutic applications
In the framework of the project ITAT1036-EXOTHERA, funded by the Interreg V-A Italy-Austria 2014-2020 programme, we organized a mini-workshop on "Extracellular Vesicles: from biophysical properties to therapeutic applications". The workshop was held in the Meeting Room – Padriciano Campus – Area Science Park on the 11th April 2019 (09:00-13:00). The mini-workshop represented the opportunity to share the results of the project, to gather together the local community working on Extracellular Vesicles field and to be acquainted with state-of-the-art EVs' isolation, characterization and applications, thanks to the participation as invited speakers of three distinguished experts on the EV field (dr. Lucio Barile from Cardiocentro Ticino, dr. Lucia Paolini from Università degli Studi di Brescia and dr. Mateja Mancek-Keber from Slovenian National Institute of chemistry). The workshop has been attended by an audience of more than 70 people coming from research institutes, companies and universities of Trieste, Udine, Ljubljana, Nova Gorica, Rijeka, Salzburg, Padua and Roma, that actively participated to the seminars. The speakers dissected different aspects related to the possible therapeutic applications of Extracellular Vesicles: from their biophysical properties to their uptake dynamics, from their role in inflammatory and immune response to their isolation in GMP conditions, from their implications in cardiovascular diseases to those in oncological frameworks.

Monitoring Committee of Interreg Italia-Austria program @ Elettra
On 10th April 2018, Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste hosted the Supervisory Committee of the European Territorial Cooperation Programme Interreg V-A Italy – Austria for the programming period2014-2020; the programme is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The Committee includes the representatives of the Authorities, Regions/Länder partnering the Programme, the European Commission, the two Member States and the social, economic and territorial partnership in the area of cooperation.
After a welcoming speech given by the President, Prof. Alfonso Franciosi, the Supervisory Committee members were given a description of two projects led by Elettra (lead partner) funded through the first call of the Interreg V-A Italy-Austria programme: InCIMa and EXOTHERA.
The presentations were given in Italian by the researchers in charge - Lisa Vaccari for InCIMa and Pietro Parisse for EXOTHERA - and in German by Regina Rochow, project manager. They outlined the goals and the technical-scientific activities of both projects, as well as expected benefits in the local area and beyond. At the end of the visit, the participants had a tour in the experimental hall of the synchrotron facility and an aperitif was organised to promote an exchange between the Supervisory Committee members and Elettra scientific and administrative staff involved in the projects.
