European Research Night

The European Research Night dissemination event in Catalonia (Nit de la Recerca) takes place on 27 and 28 November. More than 50 scientific entities from all provinces organize talks, workshops, games, experiments and many other activities for all audiences.

IREC actively participates in the Barcelona node on Friday November the 27^th:

“Matí de la recerca a les escoles” 

Alba Colet will talk about sustainable mobility of electric vehicles at the Montserrat Institute.

Cristina Corchero about energy communities at Mas Casanovas Institute.

Marc Torrell about making green energy a reality at Bernat Metge Institute.

Toni Cantero about the electrical grid at Juan Manuel Zafra Institute.

“Nit de la recerca”

Young Researcher’s Night  micro-talks  where researchers will explain their research in seven minutes using only 20 simple slide images and spending 20s for each slide. Three IREC researchers accepted the challenge:

Mattia Barbero on demand aggregation and how to deal with energy consumption in buildings (link)

Marco Bianchini on hydrogen energy in your pocket (link).

 José Manuel Sojo on thermoelectric materials to use energy that is wasted (link).

“Nano Research Night workshops”

Two online workshops from IREC will be shown:

“Power on your fingertip” by Federico Baiutti.

“How to store energy in water?” by Sebastián Murcia, Nina Carretero and Mª Isabel Díez.
