WHAT IS UNISTEM DAY?
Since 2009, UNISTEM day is a one-day meeting organized for high school students.
This event solely dedicated to the dissemination and outreach of stem cell science and
research provides an opportunity to foster learning, discovery and debate by involving
students and teachers in a variety of activities. The event showcases cutting edge research,
paints a picture of the daily work of a scientist, and explores the mechanisms behind
scientific breakthroughs, including the cultural expectations. By offering lessons, debates,
visits at the laboratories and recreational moments, the students engage with the concepts and methodologies involved in stem cell research. They will gain an appreciation for
science in that it can be fun and it builds personal character based on evidence, perseverance and integrity. As with previous years, UNISTEM 2015 will bring together Universities
and High Schools from all over Europe by involving 46 European Universities in Italy, Spain,
Sweden and the United Kingdom.

UniStem is the Centre for Stem Cell Research of the University of Milan founded in 2006
by Profs. E. Cattaneo, G. Cossu, F. Gandolfi and Y. Torrente (www.unistem.it).
The UNISTEM 2015 event is one of many UniStem activities on stem cell research divulgation and this is the 7th annual day dedicated to secondary school students, being the
largest public event on stem cell research in Europe.
