Seminar about “Spin-Offs. From Lab to Market” organized for researchers at ICMAB
This morning, November 17th, at 9.30 am there is a session of “Spin-Offs. From Lab to Market”, within the Training Program FUNMAT (Severo-Ochoa Seminars), dedicated to all researchers and PhD candidates of the Institute.
Some members of the N&N group have attented the seminar. It is always good to know what your colleagues are working on and to have information about patents and spin-offs creation. In our group, Anna Laromaine is cofounder of the spin-off OsmoBlue, which aim is to produce electricity from low-temperature heat.
The program of the seminar is the following:
- Why a spin-off ?
PRUAB (Parc de Recerca UAB) activities in business creation. Presentation of cases and experiences.
Speaker: Julia Palma (PRUAB). - Synergism between Nanomol research group and Nanomol technologies
Speakers: Nora Ventosa and Santi Sala (Nanomol, ICMAB). - Presentation of Oxolutia. Oxolutia path and “lessons learned”.
Speaker: Albert Calleja (Oxolutia, ICMAB). - Roundtable with some researchers involved in spin-offs creation and other experiences

New posters for the 5 FUNMAT “Severo Ochoa” Research Lines at ICMAB
The 5 FUNMAT “Severo Ochoa” Research Lines at ICMAB are:
RL1: SUSTAINABLE ENERGY CONVERSION AND STORAGE SYSTEMS (download)
RL2: SUPERCONDUCTORS FOR POWER APPLICATIONS: CLEAN AND SECURE ENERGY (download)
RL3: OXIDE ELECTRONICS (download)
RL4: MOLECULAR ELECTRONICS (download)
RL5: MULTIFUNCTIONAL NANOSTRUCTURED BIOMATERIALS: SMART NANOMEDICINE (download)
The N&N Group participates in three of them: RL1, RL3 and RL5.
Thank you to JAGS for the brand new posters, which are exposed in the MATGAS Hall.
Jordi Llorca, one of our collaborators from INTE-UPC, in the Catalan newspaper ara.cat, talks about photocatalysis
Jordi Llorca, from Institut de Tècniques Energètiques (INTE-UPC) explains in this video from the newspaper ara, one of the projects in which we collaborate: photocatalysis for hydrogen production from sunlight, a photocatalyst formed by TiO2/Au nanoparticles, and water:
The video is part of the article, in Catalan: Com produïm electricitat amb el sol i l’hidrogen?
In the video he says: “We obtain hydrogen -which is not in its free state in the Earth- to act as a source of energy, and to obtain it, we use use sunlight -completely clean-, a photocatalyst containing nanoparticles, and water.”
This article is part of a special issue called Ciència.cat about research and science in Catalunya, appeared this last Sunday with the newspaper ara.
