Like every year in Department of Chemistry of the Sapienza University of Rome the "Christmas Seminars" were held (5th edition). The event, aimed at secondary school students, pursues the objective of disseminating the current research topics carried out by researchers of the Department with the aim of arousing greater interest in a very important industrial sector such as Chemistry. During the "Tastings of Chemistry", aimed at exploring the Cannizzaro building to learn about instruments, research projects, the color shop of the Primo Levi Museum, and investigating chemical phenomena and reactions, some Projects financed by the European Community were illustrated, aimed at environmental sustainability and the application of the concept of circular economy. Between these, the Life Muscles Project aroused considerable interest from the students, given the highly applicative theme linked to the use of plastic materials from fossil sources in the mussel farming sector.

Special thanks to professors Antonella Piozzi and Iolanda Francolini for their contribution to this dissemination activity which is fundamental to our project.
