Prof. Senentxu Lanceros-Méndez from the Department of Physics of University of Minho and BCMaterials member will talk about “Smart and functional polymer based materials for environmental, biomedical and energy applications” on thursday, 7^th of april in the Seminar Room 115, Hallwachsstr. 3 (HAL) of Dresden University (Technische Universität Drescen). The speach will be at 13:00 and it will last an hour.

The NOVAMAG project, lead by BCMaterials will start on April 1^st. The kick-off meeting will be between 7^th and 8^th of April in the Main Library of the Leioa Campus of the Basque Country University (UPV/EHU).

The VII meeting of the "Spanish Society of Neutronics Techniques" (SETN) will be hold in Bilbao between June 26^th and 29^th. BCMaterials and ESSBilbao will organize the event. More information in the website: www.setn2016.org

BCMaterials leads the European INAPEM project and have published the project website. For more details go to www.inapem.eu The main objective of this Marie Curie RISE action is to improve and exchange interdisciplinary knowledge of materials design by modelling, materials synthesis, characterization, and materials processing for permanent magnet development to be able to provide a critical raw free permanent magnet to the industry. Permanent magnets are indispensable for many commercial and military applications.

The spanish newspaper "El Mundo" published the last sunday, 7^th of February of 2016 a new about the NOVAMAG project that BCMaterials lead. You can read the full article here.
