On 30 November 2017, 43 leading industrial and research stakeholders from across Europe –including ICIQ– gathered in Brussels to launch CO2 Value Europe, the new European association dedicated to CO2 utilisation. Its mission is to promote the development and market deployment of sustainable industrial solutions that convert CO2 into valuable products, in order to contribute […]

Yichen Wu, PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Alexandr Shafir (ICIQ), has defended her PhD Thesis entitled “Hypervalent Iodine as Directing Tool in Iodine-Retentive Transformation of C-H Bonds” (assigned to the Physical and Inorganic Chemistry Department of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili) publicly on December 11th at the ICIQ Auditorium. The members of the […]

Last year, ICIQ researchers discovered a blue material capable of ‘trapping’ CO₂ molecules. This new material –a metal-organic framework– slows down CO₂ molecules, allowing the separation of carbon dioxide in a mixture of gases. Now, researchers will commercialise said technology with a new spin-off company – Orchestra Scientific. Orchestra only kicked off a few days ago, […]

Daniel Hernández, PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Pau Ballester (ICIQ), has defended his PhD Thesis entitled “Calix[4]pyrrole-based Receptors for Biologically Relevant Polar Molecules: From Organic to Aqueous Media” (assigned to the Organic and Analytical Chemistry Department of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili) publicly on November 24th at the ICIQ Auditorium. The members of […]

Rositha Kuniyil, PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Feliu Maseras (ICIQ), has defended her PhD Thesis entitled “Computational Mechanistic Studies on the Transition Metal Catalyzed Activation of Carbon Dioxide” (assigned to the Physical and Inorganic Chemistry Department of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili) publicly on November 20th at the ICIQ Auditorium. The members of […]

ICIQ partners with German Biotech company AiCuris in a €750k project to train young scientists. H2020 Innovative Training Networks (ITN) support competitively selected doctoral programmes, implemented by partnerships of actors from different countries across Europe and beyond. ITN aim to foster qualities like scientific excellence and innovation, as well as skills like creativity and entrepreneurship. […]
