The Catalan Association for Scientific Communication (ACCC), within the Gender Perspective group, wants to make female leading researchers in Catalonia visible. For this reason, the exhibition “Científiques Catalanes 2.0” was designed . The exhibition started two years ago, in which many of the included scientists have been recognized in different fields of research. Among them, we

Laia Vicens participated at “Divulgando con el JIQ en 3 minutos” competition organised by Jóvenes Investigadores Químicos – RSEQ for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11th of February) with a 3 min video on Youtube. Laia Vicens, PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Miquel Costas, presented her research in 3 min
Tomorrow (8th of March) is International Women’s Day. The IQCC has currently a rather favourable balance in gender ratio of staff members, both at the Master level (47%), PhD level (37%), postdocs (13%) and permanent researchers staff (29%). Notably, out of the 4 most recent permanent members, 2 are men and 2 are women, reinforcing
Benzene and pyrene can be synthetically linked to [ o -COSAN] – keeping their aromaticity. At difference, naphthalene and anthracene are extruded in the same reaction. We have proven that extrusion is only favorable if the number of Clar’s ?-sextets remains constant. Thus, Clar has the answer to whether an attached polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon to
A few times a year, the IQCC opens its doors and gives the opportunity to high-school students to know our work through exciting lectures and computational and experimental workshops. This provides the secondary school pupils the possibility to get a feel for the research and have real-time chemistry in their hands. Yesterday it was the
The project #NitRecerCat: La Nit Europea de la Recerca, within the HORIZON-MSCA-2022-CITIZENS call, aims to celebrate the European Researchers’ Night in Catalonia as well as take Researchers at Schools . The consortium, coordinated by Dr. Sílvia Simon, includes partners from different Catalan cities. Universitat de Barcelona, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Universitat de Lleida, Universitat de
Every year, there is an Open Days at the University of Girona: a unique opportunity for high-school students to get to know first hand the campuses, centres, sports facilities, training on offer and a wide range of cultural activities. This time, the IQCC together with the Scientific Culture and Digital Communication (C4D) unit of the
Today, four of the Master in Advanced Catalysis and Molecular Modelling (MACMoM) students have started a internship in different national companies (Givaudan, Concentrol, Medichem and Moehs) to perform their Master research project (TFM). Internship in a company is an optional module of the MACMoM Master, in which the students can perform a full-time internship in
Last 15th October 2021 took place the graduation of two promotions of Master in Advanced Catalysis and Molecular Modelling (MACMoM) students of the IQCC University of Girona at Auditorium of Girona.
