PhD theses 2018
Conferences and meetings
ICMAB researchers have presented their results in more than 139 international meetings and 17 national meetings. Of the communications, 53 were Invited Conferences, 75 Oral Communications, 3 Plenary Talks and 25 Poster Presentations. The conferences are of a broad range of topics: superconductivity, phosphorus, boron and silicon, nanocomposites, materials science, coordination chemistry, nanoparticles’ applications, lithium batteries, organic and hybrid thermoelectrics, cellulose, solid state physics, paramagnetic materials, nanoscience and nanotechnology, low temperature electronics, synthetic metals, molecule-based magnets, medicinal chemistry, semiconductors, etc.
In addition, the researchres organized 3 international conferences, co-organized many symposiums in international conferences and participated in the scientific committees and as chair members, and participated in the SOMMa 100xciencia.3 meeting.

Courses and Workshops
- Workshops and Summer schools
Each RL organizes a workshop and/or a summer school per year. Workshops are small conferences that typically last two days and feature international invited speakers. It also gives ICMAB students and young postdocs an opportunity for visibility of their research activity and exposes them to a stimulating international environment. Summer schools are weekly long schools that include lectures and hands-on sessions with international professors and networking activities. In 2018, the RL1 and RL2 organized the summer school “Materials for Energy” (MATENER) on 17-20 September 2018. More than 40 students participated in the event. In addition, the RL3 organized the summer school in the framework of the EU COST action “TO-BE” on Oxide Electronics. The RL5 organized the one-day workshop “Nanomaterials and plants” in collaboration with the CRAG (Center for Research in Agricultural Genomics), and the RL3 co-organized a workshop on Atomic Layer Deposition. ICMAB researchers also collaborated in the organization of two other summer schools: the ICFO school on emerging photovoltaics (in collaboration with ICFO), and the summer school in nanoscience (organized by the UIMP) - Complementary skills courses and workshops
At the ICMAB we also make an effort to offer transversal knowledge to our researchers: skills on scientific presentations, use bibliographic tools, project management or how to protect knowledge through patent filling are essential. Researchers also learn scientific writing and results communication.
- Support the participation in international conferences
We financially support the attendance to international conferences for our researchers (especially PhD fellows), so that they can present their research outside the walls of the ICMAB. In the two calls that we opened we were able to support the travels of 14 PhD students, all of them delivering an oral presentation at flagship conferences about materials science.
