The 10alamenos9 Festival is an initiative for the dissemination of nanoscience and nanotechnology that is celebrated in many places. In its edition of Bellaterra, the Faculty of Sciences of the UAB is the main coordinator together with the research centers ICMAB, ICN2 and IMB-CNM. On May 31, there were several visits to the different centers and a round table with predoctoral researchers talking about their career in nanoscience. The Campus welcomed almost 200 students altogether.

More than 12,000 people have participated in the 15th Festa de la Ciència on the Rambla del Raval and more than 100 people have participated in the activities coordinated by the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona.

The institute participates, one more year, in the Festa de la Ciència organized by the Barcelona City Council. The event is the largest event for scientific dissemination for all audiences. It will take place on the Rambla del Raval in Barcelona and will last the entire weekend of May 28 and 29.

The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona opened its doors from Wednesday 18 May to Friday 20 May to welcome all those interested in learning about how a research center and an ICTS work from the inside. About 30 people signed up to join the nine guided tours that were scheduled.

The transistor is a microelectronic component that is counted by the millions in computers, cell phones, rockets and washing machines. It is at the heart of the digital revolution, is fundamental to microelectronics and is key to understanding the current semiconductor crisis. The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona is celebrating it with an event on Tuesday, May 24 at the Institut d'Estudis Catalans in Barcelona. There will be a talk by its director, Luis Fonseca, on the causes of the crisis, and an informative lecture by Professor Ignacio Mártil.

We live surrounded by chips. They are not only in products such as mobile phones or computers, but also in the automotive industry, the industrial production of clothing or food and in critical sectors such as medical instrumentation, security or defense. But why are chips missing?

The #MEMEnginy22 fair, organized by the students of the UAB School of Engineering, returns tomorrow with face-to-face activities and stands. One more year, the IMB-CNM participates with its own stand and with a conference on free hardware.

The director of the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona went to a morning talk show on the channel TV3 to talk about the new Strategic Project for Economic Recovery and Transformation (PERTE) and the announcement of the Spanish Government to finance the manufacture of semiconductors.
