On March 6, 2025, the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) and the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC) successfully hosted the Bi(o)lateral Day, a scientific event dedicated to fostering collaboration in bio research and scientific services between the two neighboring institutes. The event, held at the ICMAB Carles Miravitlles Conference Room, featured a full day of engaging presentations, dynamic discussions, and networking activities, highlighting the potential for joint research initiatives.

The spin-off FlexiiC aims to design system-on-chip (SoC) solutions applied to intelligent systems and the Internet of Things. Its mission is to democratize and reinvent the world of electronics through a revolutionary organic and flexible technology, which will enable a new generation of sensors and logic circuits processed with functional inks at low temperatures on sustainable substrates.

With the participation of three CSIC centers and financed by the Interreg Sudoe program, this is a significant advance in the early detection of forest fires due to its high sensitivity and rapid response.

The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona will receive 25 million euros to improve its infrastructure. The project includes, among other actions, the creation of a level 2 Bioelectronics Clean Room to evaluate electronic devices under biomedical conditions.
