Miquel Solà has recently been selected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). This scientific society, founded in 1980, aims to promote the understanding and advancement of the chemical sciences. Although the vast majority of more than 50,000 members of the association are British, this is also open to researchers from around the world.
Last month (August 27-31, 2023) took place the European Conference on Computational and Theoretical Chemistry 2023 (EuChemS CompChem) in Thessaloniki (Greece). Dr. Anton Stasyuk, postdoc researcher in the Prof. Miquel Solà group, presented a talk titled “Aromaticity controls the photoinduced electron transfer in host-guest complexes of nanohoops”, and won the best oral presentation in the Materials Design session. Congratulations
Last Friday, the Ministry of Science and Innovation annunced that Sílvia Osuna, ICREA research professor at the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of the University of Girona (UdG), received the National Research Award for Young Investigators ‘María Teresa Toral’ 2023, in the area of Science and Chemical Technologies, for her outstanding scientific career on the design
Last week (June 25-29, 2023) took place the XXXIX Reunión Bienal 2023 Conference from Real Sociedad Española de Química (RSEQ) in Zaragoza, which included a poster session.
