Last 7th May took place the Spring 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 in
In April 2026, Dr. Alexander Fadeev has joined the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) as a postdoctoral researcher. He received his PhD in 2024 from Charles University in Prague, where he studied catalytic and photochemical cycloadditions of alkynes under the supervision of Prof. Martin Kotora. After investigating biomimetic natural product synthesis at Charles
Prof. Marc Garcia-Borràs has been awarded one of the four Young Investigator prize in the Group Leader category given by the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (Real Sociedad Española de Química- RSEQ). These are individual awards designed to recognize young scientists (up to 40 years old, or 10 years after the PhD defense) that have shown scientific leadership
Every year in April since 2014 is organizing the Ciència en equip. It is a science fair mainly led by secondary school students from various institutes in the Girona region, aimed at the general public. This year, 11th of April 2026, the Ciència en Equip took place in Girona. The event started at 10 am until 2 pm at Pati de les
From 13th to 16th April, the La Mercè Cultural Centre in Girona hosted the Girona Seminar 2026, an academic and scientific meeting that has been organised biennially since 1993 by the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC). The event brought together researchers specialising in the chemistry of cyclic compounds, their synthesis, and their applications,
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. Last Tuesday 24th March the 3rd IQCC Day took place. This activity is part of the Networking IQCC activities. We did an excursion around Estany de Banyoles and
Dr. Christopher John Taylor was born in December 1995 in Yorkshire, England. In June 2019, he completed his integrated MChem degree in Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Manchester. During his undergraduate studies, he undertook summer research placements within Prof. Nicholas Turner’s group at the University of Manchester and within Prof. Angela Russell’s
Dr. Nil Roig has recently joined us as a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC). Dr. Nil did his undergraduate studies in chemistry and his master studies in advanced catalysis and molecular modelling here, at the university of Girona. Afterwards, he moved to the University of Warwick to undertake
Last 5th of February took place the 1st Science and Technology Transfer Workshop. The TC2T2 Workshop was an excellent opportunity to reflect on how research ideas are transformed into well-structured projects and how effective communication enhances their impact. PhD students and postdoctoral researchers (as well as PI) were invited to attend in order to gain
