What we do
AGG in ActionFrom scientific conferences, to youth STEM education festivals, to innovative projects and networking, AGG makes science come to life in small communities around the world. Our passion is connecting people to the science that could change their lives, promoting a free flow of ideas between lay people and STEM experts, and giving children the STEM opportunities, inspiration and role models that they might otherwise not have access to in their hometowns.












Events
Our signature event is NanoGagliato, the original AGG nanomedicine conference in the small southern Italian town of Gagliato, Italy. NanoGagliato brings together nanoscientists, medical professionals and researchers, humanitarians, thought leaders, government officials, educators, venture capitalists and more to gather with Gagliato residents for informal but intense discussions on scientific and humanitarian challenges.
A highlight of the conference is the concurrent children’s event, NanoPiccola, where conference speakers and volunteers create an engaging science fair for local youths. Children and teenagers perform experiments, learn about nanotechnology, and meet the scientists and other professionals from the conference, often forming long-term mentorship relationships with role models poised to educate and inspire.
Now, inspired by the NanoGagliato and NanoPiccola success story, AGG chapters and accademici are creating similar events in communities across the world. Check back as we add more events!
