Last 24th October took place the Autumn edition of the IQCC Forum, a quarterly meeting-place where high-quality science will be discussed. The IQCC Forum gives the opportunity for PhD and postdoc members of the IQCC to present their work to a wide audience. This will lead to better knowledge of the work that is being performed

On October 9, an open day was held to see the new space where several clusters of the IQCC are located (BETA and Krillin). The new room is bigger and will allow us to grow in the number of computing machines. Also, it allows a better distribution of hot and cold air currents. Now, the
Next Tuesday will be the defense of the doctoral thesis of Marc Montilla Busquets, titled “Decomposition of (non)linear optical properties ”, supervised by Dr. Josep Maria Luis and Dr. Pedro Salvador from IQCC. Place: Aula Magna of the Faculty of Science Date: Tuesday Oct 22nd, 2024 Time: 11am We wish him good luck and all the best! Girona, Oct 17th, 2024
Last week the Computers in Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society announced that Dr. Marc Garcia-Borràs, Ramón y Cajal fellow at the Institut de Química Computacional i Catàlisi (IQCC) of the UdG, received the the Cadence/OpenEye Outstanding Junior Faculty award managed by the Computers in Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society, for his scientific career of quality and excellence. The ACS
A diiodo ruthenium olefin metathesis pre-catalyst was employed to achieve remarkably selective cross-metathesis reactions of prenylated 1,6-dienes, effectively overcoming the entropically favored intramolecular ring-closing metathesis. This reaction was investigated using Density Functional Theory (DFT) computations and fine-tuned through the application of a Design of Experiments (DoE) approach. The potential of this innovative process was demonstrated
Every year in September since 2008, the IQCC is organizing together with the Scientific Culture and Digital Communication (C4D) unit of the UdG, the Diputació de Girona and the Girona City Council the European Researchers’ Night with the aim to bring science closer to the Girona general public. The European Researchers’ Night is a coordianted
The standardized citation metric analysis published by Ioaniddis (popularized as Stanford University global list of 2% top scientists) has become a world-recognized rank of scientific output performance based on scientific publications. The newest version 2024 includes 9 IQCC researchers (Miquel Solà, Miquel Costas, Marcel Swart, Albert Poater, Sílvia Osuna , Lluís Blancafort, Xavier Ribas, Jordi Mestres (visiting professor) and Alexander Voityuk (emeritus)). In addition, the career analysis report includes 10 IQCC
