In 2015, the IQCC organized for the first time the Science Slam, which took place within the general context of the Setmana de la Ciència and was dedicated to Prof. Ramon Carbó-Dorca on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Next week on November 24 the IQCC organizes the second edition to show the most representative research projects of the Institute to a wide audience. The research carried out within each of the research teams of the IQCC will be briefly summarized by the PIs (2 minutes), and then one of the current research topics of the team is being explained in more detail (5 minutes) by a PhD student or postdoc.
The schedule of the Science Slam is as follows:
| Director IQCC | Opening |
