The Fellows call designed to draw and retain talent in Gipuzkoa is open until 30 March.

The Global Graphene Call aims to drive forward business projects linked to graphene. The deadline for submitting projects is 26 April, 2020.

Javier Zaldivar, Pre-doctoral researcher at the Nanoimaging Group at nanoGUNE, received his PhD at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) after the defense of his thesis project on the 17 January 2020. His research work, entitled “Magnetic-Impurity-Induced Bound States in B-Bi2Pd" has been developed under the supervision Jose Ignacio Pascual, Ikerbasque Research Professor and group leader of the Nanoimaging group at nanoGUNE. 

The PhD researchers of nanoGUNE have organized a one-day event to celebrate the 11th anniversary of nanoGUNE. The workshop has consisted of three sessions: Spin-off inside and outside of nanoGUNE, Escape the lab, and a poster session.

The research centres CIC nanoGUNE, the Materials Physics Centre (CFM CSIC-UPV/EHU), CIC biomaGUNE, the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), Biodonostia, Tecnun-School of Engineering, Ceit, POLYMAT and Elhuyar have come together to present a joint programme to mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science to be held internationally on 11 February across the world.

On January 13, 2019, the ceremonial inauguration of the ENSEMBLE3 project - Center of excellence for nanophotonics, advanced materials and novel crystal growth-based technologies was held.

CIC nanoGUNE has just launched the call in its Summer Internship Programme, which it runs every year; it offers university students the chance to get to know first-hand about the activity of a world-class research centre.

The researcher Edurne Sagasta has been awarded the prize for best experimental PhD thesis by the Condensed Matter Physics Division (GEFES) of the Spanish Royal Physics Society (RSEF). The thesis entitled Spin-to-charge current conversion in systems with spin-orbit coupling was worked on at CIC nanoGUNE.

The Spanish State Agency for Research (Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities) - ERDF funds, EU, will co-finance the acquisition, installation and setting-up of a new evaporator for the growth of thin films in high vacuum at nanoGUNE.

A multidisciplinary team at the CIC nanoGUNE nanoscience research centre has developed an innovative technology recently protected through a patent application. It is NovaSpider, 3D printing equipment that besides handling the familiar FDM/FFF additive printing technology, is capable of creating materials comprising nonwoven membrane layers of randomly oriented nanofibres and of microfibres with precision-controlled orientation.
