The 8th Edition of Advanced Materials World Congress held on March 30-31 in Rome, Italy was an inspiring event to learn about the research of others, some of whom were in closely related fields. The opportunity allowed for everyone to gather in a beautiful place to network and collaborate with fellow researchers. The event was well coordinated by the Peers Alley team and the team leaders were most gracious in assisting the participants. Thank you all for the invitation to participate and I'm hopeful to join again in the future.
