Nanomaterials for Light: A workshop within the European Project RADIANT

The "Nanomaterials for Light" workshop, organized within the framework of the European project RADIANT, will take place on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, at the Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), Campus UAB, in the Sala d’Actes Carles Miravitlles.

This workshop will bring together leading researchers in the field of nanomaterials for light applications, with invited talks covering topics such as perovskite nanocrystals, optical characterization techniques, halide perovskites for LED applications, and colloidal quantum dots for near-infrared optoelectronics.

About the RADIANT Project

The RADIANT project, funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe Research and Innovation program (grant agreement Nº 101162112), focuses on developing next-generation light-emitting nanomaterials for innovative optical applications. The project brings together leading European research institutions and industry partners to explore novel materials with tailored properties for high-efficiency, tunable, and sustainable photonic technologies.

RADIANT is coordinated by Agustín Mihi from ICMAB-CSIC, with a multidisciplinary team working on the synthesis, characterization, and application of advanced nanomaterials. More information about the project can be found at RADIANT website. You can also follow the project on social media, where it is very active (LinkedIn, X anb Bsky).

The RADIANT project, funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe Research and Innovation program (grant agreement Nº 101162112), aims to develop cutting-edge light-emitting nanomaterials for next-generation applications.
