In order to attract and retain talent, 48 new positions (17 at the UAB) of lecturer and assistant professor will be offered by the Generalitat. All the positions are included in the Serra Húnter Programme. The application period begins on September 18 and will end on October 13.

Researchers from the UAB and the ICN2 have developed a methodology that makes it possible for the first time to observe under the microscope, in real time, what happens when glass is heated and changes to a supercooled liquid phase, known as the "glass transition". The research, published in Nature Physics, is of great importance for the cryopreservation of proteins, cells and living tissues, for the manufacture of drugs and electronic devices, and for tissue engineering, where this glass-to-liquid transition plays a key role.

The European Space Agency (ESA), in collaborarion with the Institute for High Energy Physics (IFAE), the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC), and the Scientific Information Port (PIC), all located on the UAB campus, has launched the Euclid telescope into space. The Euclid mission will provide information on dark energy and dark matter.

The public-private initiative will aim to attract projects from leading companies in this sector, train and attract specialized talent, promote research and innovation and connect the local ecosystem to the world.

On May 5, the Auditorium of the Faculty of Sciences will host a tribute to Jordi Garcia Orellana, professor of the Department of Physics who left us in July 2022.

Department of Physics Professor Andreas Winter was recently awarded a Hans Fischer Senior Fellowship by the Institute for Advanced Study of the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

Arán, a UAB alumni of the Degree in Physics, is co-founder of this startup, which helps to optimize purchases and supply of companies through artificial intelligence. He will share his experience in an exclusive meeting with students and alumni on April 11, Tuesday, at 1:00 p.m. in the UAB-Emprèn space, in Plaça Cívica. Free registration now open.

The Minister for Science and Innovation, Diana Morant, presented today at the UAB Faculty of Sciences the Complementary Plan for Astrophysics and High Energy Physics, which will be coordinated by the IFAE.

The 22nd edition of the congress will take place from June 12 to 16, 2023 at Casa Convalescència and will serve to present and debate the current and future solutions of computational nanotechnology in the simulation of nanostructures, nanomaterials and nanodevices. It is an eminently interdisciplinary field that involves areas such as electronics, engineering, physics, applied mathematics, chemistry and biology. The deadline to submit work and participate is now open.

From February 4 and for 5 Saturdays, the Faculty of Sciences will host the 23rd Physics Saturdays. An initiative of the Department of Physics whose main objective is to bring physics and science closer to young pre-university students and motivate them to learn about the world around us in a rigorous and, at the same time, understandable way.
