On July 16, starting at 11:00 a.m., in the auditorium of the Martina Casiano Building (BCMaterials headquarters), we will host an invited talk by Professor Raynald Gauvin from the Department of Mining and Materials Engineering at McGill University, Canada.

Professor Gauvin will present his talk titled "Chemical Analysis of Lithium in Battery Materials with High Spatial Resolution Using EDS and EELS in the Electron Microscope."

From June 30th to July 2nd, BCMaterials hosted the second workshop of the MSCA doctoral network "Track the Twin," of which our center is a member. This European project aims to enhance the performance and durability of quantum dots through the development of digital twins.

From June 25 to 27, BCMaterials hosted a specialized course on functional printing, organized in collaboration with the Functional Print Cluster. The course brought together nearly 40 participants from companies, technology centers, and vocational training institutions. It offered comprehensive theoretical and practical training in functional manufacturing and printed electronics using advanced materials.

On June, 19 we hosted the ‘Processes and Materials for Life’ symposium, organized jointly with Instituto Biofisika. The goal of the symposium was to share the common knowledge of both centers on cutting-edge research with potential applications in healthcare, sustainability and beyond.

On June 18th, starting at 11:00 a.m., in the Martina Casiano Auditorium in Leioa, BCMaterials launches a new chapter of ‘Materials for Society’—an initiative that bridges science with art, culture, innovation, and the pressing challenges of our modern world.

BCMaterials is proud to host Dr. Daniel Hernangómez, Gipuzkoa Fellow at CICnanoGUNE (Donostia-San Sebastián) in a new invited talk. The talk is titled: “Excitonic landscapes in TMDCs: from defect-driven effects to magneto-optics” and it will start at 11:00 at the Martina Casiano auditorium (BCMaterials headquarters).

On June 30th and July 1st, BCMaterials will host the workshop "Quantum Dot Computations," organized within the framework of the MSCA "Track the Twin" doctoral network, of which our center is a member. The event will bring together internationally renowned figures in the theoretical and computational field of quantum dots, such as E. Rabani (UC Berkeley), O. Voznyy (University of Toronto), J. I. Climente (Universitat Jaume I), N. Yazdani (ETH Zurich), C. Delerue (Université de Lille), and I. Infante (BCMaterials).

BCMaterials is proud to host Dr. Aaron Mailman, Academy of Finland Research Fellow at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) in a new invited talk. The talk is titled: “Organic Radicals as Functional Materials” and it will start at 11:00 at the Martina Casiano auditorium (BCMaterials headquarters).

BCMaterials hosted the second meeting of the Marie Curie ECLectic doctoral network from April 1 to 4. Our center is part of the consortium of 10 European universities, research centers, and companies participating in this project. ECLectic aims to develop electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensors capable of early detection (within 2-3 hours) of bacteria that cause sepsis. As a doctoral network, ECLectic's mission is to train young researchers in this discipline.

On April 1 and 2, BCMaterials headquarters hosted the second general assembly of the Horizon Europe BIOntier project, "BreakIng FrOntiers in Sustainable and Circular Biocomposites with High Performance for Multi-Sector Applications." Nearly 50 representatives from the 25 consortium entities attended the event. 12 different countries are represented in the consortium.
