Over two days, specialists from various disciplines presented their work, linking the study of material properties to practical needs such as developing more durable solar cells or detecting minimal amounts of molecules. The symposium featured speakers from research institutions in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, and Spain, covering fields from chemistry and physics to engineering and biology.
Sessions focused on energy analyzed how to improve the stability of perovskites, materials with great potential for solar technology, and the functioning of solar cells and photodetectors. Subsequently, the design of materials that interact with biological systems was explored, opening new possibilities for molecular detection and medicine.
The conferences were complemented by a poster session where research staff presented their work. The symposium concluded with a round table on the future perspectives of materials research, led by Elena Mas Marzá, director of INAM, followed by an awards ceremony for the best posters.
