ICMAB is a very dynamic place. Many things happen all year round, from our "Anniversary Party" which is around June to our Christmas celebration in December, we also have many workshops, courses and seminars all year round, we receive school visits and many students, and we receive visits of different reserachers and people from the innovation and technology sector willing to know more about our research and stablish collaborations with our scientists.
One of ICMAB's mission is to increase the general scientific culture of the society. To increase the critical thinking, which will lead to better decisions making. We organize multiple events that are open to the scientific community and to all those interested in science.
Seminars
- ICMAB Periodical Lecture: these seminars are held every 2 Mondays at 12 pm at the Institute. Invited speakers (from across the globe) provide information on a topic of interest, and seek collaboration among the ICMAB researchers.
- Invited Seminars: ICMAB researchers invite renowned speakers to give a talk, if they are visiting Barcelona, or if the topic is of outstanding interest for the Institute.
Scientific workshops within the ICMAB
Researchers organize scientific workshops and technical meetings to enhance the knowledge and collaboration between them. These workshops and meetings are organized in the framework of the Severo Ochoa project.
Summer Schools and Meetings for PhD researchers
We are committed to our young researchers, and thus organize events in which they can increase their knowledge, acquire different skills and present their research results, in inspiring and multidisciplinary atmospheres.
