NANOCOSMOS will organize the ECLA2016 – Gas on the Rocks conference

2015/12/23 / Marcelo Castellanos

The European Conference on Laboratory Astrophysics – Gas on the Rocks (ECLA2016) will be held at the CSIC headquarters in Madrid on November 21 – 25, 2016.

The conference will address the state of the art in laboratory astrophysics within the context of new astrophysical data and to improve communication and collaboration between astrophysicists, physicists and (geo) chemists. Hence, the conference structure will consist of invited talks presenting topics in astrophysics and planetary science and related laboratory astrophysics activities. Contributing talks will be selected to complement the topics from the astrophysical, laboratory, and theoretical/modeling points of view.

NANOCOSMOS on “Encounters on the Frontiers of Science” (Valladolid, December 2, 2015)

2015/12/01 / Marcelo Castellanos

The meeting “Encounters on the frontiers of science” will take place on December 2, 2015 in Valladolid. This meeting is organised by the “Fundación Duques de Soria” and the University of Valladolid, the “Fundación Universidades Castilla y León” and the University of Salamanca.

This conference will tackle several issues such as magnetism, neutrinos, relativity, graphene and astrochemistry, among others. In order to discuss the progress that Astrochemistry has had in recent years, José Cernicharo, leader of the Molecular Astrophysics Group at the Institute of Materials Science of Madrid (CSIC) and one of the Principal Investigators of the Nanocosmos ERC Project, will give a talk entitled “Astrochemistry: chemical complexity in space“. It will be tomorrow, December 2, at 12:00 in the Campus Miguel Delibes (Aulario, Aula Magna, Paseo de Belén, 9) at the University of Valladolid.
