ECLectic Doctoral Network Meets at BCMaterials
BCMaterials hosted the second meeting of the Marie Curie ECLectic doctoral network from April 1 to 4. Our center is part of the consortium of 10 European universities, research centers, and companies participating in this project. ECLectic aims to develop electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensors capable of early detection (within 2-3 hours) of bacteria that cause sepsis. As a doctoral network, ECLectic's mission is to train young researchers in this discipline.
BCMaterials Host of the BIOntier Project General Assembly
On April 1 and 2, BCMaterials headquarters hosted the second general assembly of the Horizon Europe BIOntier project, "BreakIng FrOntiers in Sustainable and Circular Biocomposites with High Performance for Multi-Sector Applications." Nearly 50 representatives from the 25 consortium entities attended the event. 12 different countries are represented in the consortium.

Women and Girls in Science Week at BCMaterials
BCMaterials participated in the celebration of the International Week of Women and Girls in Science, which took place from February 10 to 16, by organizing several activities both inside and outside our center. On the 11th and 12th, we welcomed over 130 secondary school students from five educational institutions in Bizkaia: Zubi Zaharra Ikastola, IES Juan Antonio Zunzunegui, Ander Deuna Ikastola, IES Muskiz, and IES Sopela.
ECLectic Doctoral Network Workshop at BCMaterials (3-4 April)
On April 3 and 4, BCMaterials will host a workshop organized by the MSCA international doctoral network ECLectic, aimed at training young researchers in the field of electrochemiluminescence (ECL). This event is also open to scientists who are not part of the doctoral network and will serve as the culmination of a week that includes specific training sessions for predoctoral students in the ECLectic network, as well as a follow-up meeting among project partners.
Ander García Díez, New Doctor of BCMaterials
We would like to congratulate Ander García Díez for his brilliant defence of his PhD thesis in Materials Science and Technology, entitled “Printable Magnetically Responsive Materials and Devices”.
The thesis was developed in collaboration with the Department of Electronics of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the UPV/EHU, and directed by Jon Gutiérrez Etxebarria (UPV/EHU and BCMaterials) and Carmen Rial Tubio (BCMaterials).
BCMaterials presents its activity for the Week of Women and Girls in Science
BCMaterials celebrates, one more year, the Week of Women and Girls in Science. On February 11 and 12, we will carry out visits to our facilities by students from our region’s schools. The young students, especially women, will learn about the work of BCMaterials female researchers in new materials science. This activity focuses in three main goals: to help make the work of scientists visible, to awaken vocations in young students and to banish stereotypes about the capabilities of women in the field of science and technology.
