Since 2023 every two months, the IQCC is organizing some sessions of IQCC networking. This activity is trying to promote networking between the people of the all Institute (PIs, postdocs, PhD students, master students and staff) and it is a chemistry-free event, On Thursday October 2nd took place a new session of IQCC networking, we did a soccer match, trival and a
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 2025 includes 7 IQCC researchers (Miquel Solà, Miquel Costas, Marcel Swart, Albert Poater, Sílvia Osuna , Lluís Blancafort, Jordi Mestres (visiting professor)). Congratulations!

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
Dr. Francesco Zaccaria has recently become a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC). Dr. Zaccaria did his PhD at the Federico II University of Naples on the “molecular olefin polymerization catalysts: applications of molecular design for properties modulation” under the supervision of Prof. Vincenzo Busico. After graduating in 2018, he moved to University of
The IQCC from the Universitat de Girona is at the forefront of one of twelve pioneering research projects selected by the BBVA Foundation’s Fundamentos Program, which supports bold, fundamental science across key disciplines. The Fundamentos Program reinforces the BBVA Foundation’s long-standing commitment to advancing basic science as a cornerstone for addressing the complex challenges of
