Please note that:

“Activities in the chemical laboratory are part of the course. In order to participate in lab experiences, all students must have attended health and safety Modules 1 and 2 [e-learning mode at https://www.unibo.it/it/servizi-e-opportunita/salute-e-assistenza/salute-e-sicurezza/sicurezza-e-salute-nei-luoghi-di-studio-e-tirocinio] and Module 3 [in presence]. Information about Module 3 dates and locations will be published in the <Chimica and Chimica dei Materiali> website. “
