Open House at INL – September 24-25

The INL International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory reopens its doors for another festival dedicated to Science and Nanotechnology in particular. On September 24 and 25, INL researchers will show who they are and what they do. With fun and varied activities, scientists will explain where we can find solutions based on nanotechnology in the objects and situations of our everyday life. There will be activities for children and adults. The program includes lectures, demonstrations, scientific experiments, exhibitions and plays activities for the little ones. We promise to open a window on the daily lives of the many researchers working at INL from all over the world. Physicists, chemists, biologists, engineers … all together will explain to you how nanotechnology, this invisible giant, has the potential to improve our lives and make our planet more sustainable. Join us at this party dedicated to Science with lots of fun guaranteed. The second day of the event, Monday, September 25, is reserved for organized groups from institutions (professional organizations, schools, social centers, etc.) The program and registrations are available here

INL Summit 2017 – The New Economy

Nanotechnology and the New Economy is the theme for this year’s edition of the INL Summit, the annual gathering where the impact of nanoscience and nanotechnologies is debated in Braga, North of Portugal. The event is organized by INL and will take place on October 19 and 20. Science not Fiction, Nanotechnology and the 4th Industrial Revolution, Turning Nanotechnology into Business, Nanotechnology, Arts, Design and Education, and a round table dedicated to Economic Environment, are the titles of the five sessions foreseen for the INL Summit 2017.

INL hosts MNE2017 – September 18-22

INL will host the 43rd International Conference on Micro and Nanoengineering this September 18-22. For the 2017 edition, INL and IMB-CNM, CSIC, co-organiser of the conference have set-up an outstanding program, with very high-level key-note speakers on topics spanning from meta-materials to life-sciences and information technologies. MNE2017 will cover all the main current activities in micro/nanoengineering and for this, the organisation has restructured the conference in four areas: Novel Developments in Nano/Micro Fabrication Methods and processes; Fabrication and Integration of Micro/Nano-Structures Devices and Systems; Engineering for Physical and Chemical Applications; and Engineering for the Life Sciences. Read all about the event on the dedicated website.

CÓDIGOMAIS – A new Innovation Ecosystem in Health for Galicia and North of Portugal

CÓDIGOMÁIS is a project aiming at fostering the creation of a cross-border innovation ecosystem in the area of cooperation Galicia-North of Portugal, open to all key regional stakeholders and with a strong international orientation. Nine partners from across North of Portugal and Galicia are working together to increase the market-oriented RTD in health, to promote the information flow on the needs and demand of technological solutions within the cooperation area and to foster cooperation between research centres, regional administration, companies and end-users. Kicked-off on June 1st, CÓDIGOMÁIS will run for 4 years with a budget over €2,2M co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The initiative is led by ACIS – Axencia Galega para Xestion do Coñecemento en Saude (Spain) and brings together other eight key regional players in the health cluster: INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (Portugal), UVIGO – Universidade de Vigo (Spain), USC – Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (Spain), CSG – Cluster Saúde de Galícia (Spain), BIOGA – Cluster Tecnolóxico Empresarial das Ciencias da Vida (Spain), HCP – Health Cluster Portugal (Portugal), FMUP – Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto (Portugal) and 2ca – Centro Clínico Académico Braga (Portugal).

INL researcher wins award for best thesis

Jose Lado has received the award from the Solid State Physics Group (GEFES) of the Spanish Royal Society of Physics for the best PhD thesis in condensed matter physics presented in Spain during the academic year 2015-16. His doctoral thesis Topological electronic phases in graphene were developed at INL, within the Marie-Curie ITN SPINOGRAPH, under the supervision of Joaquín Fernandez Rossier (director) and Victor Pardo (tutor). As a result, José Lado will be an invited speaker in the upcoming symposium organised by GEFES in the Summer 2017. Congratulations, Jose Lado!

INL receives Medal of Honour from the City of Braga

The INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory was delighted to be presented with the Medal of Honour of the City of Braga. INL Director General, Lars Montelius, received the medal on behalf of the institution. The ceremony took place in the Theatro Circo on the day of S. Geraldo, the city’s patron, December 5th. INL Director General considers that “receiving the Medal of Honour shows that INL, through its development as an important international reference point, is taking a position in the local eco-system that is highly visible, and appreciated by the municipality as being mutually beneficial”. “We feel very honoured by this award. It is the result of our everyday work, our effort to articulate science, and nanotechnology in particular, within our community. This award will inspire all of us at INL to work even harder in our engagement with society,” added Lars Montelius, who received the medal from the City Mayor Ricardo Rio.
