Activity Report 2017-18

Abstract

The Scientific Activity Report you have in your hands summarizes two years of intense and continued efforts by the dedicated group of scientists conforming the Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology of the University of Barcelona (IN2UB). Created in 2006, the Institute aims to harness the multidisciplinary skills of the UB researchers interested in nanotechnology, with a view of favoring ambitious collaborative research. Thus, it integrates members from up to six Faculties of the University, namely Physics, Chemistry, Farmacy, Medicine, Biology and, most recently, Geology. As a Director, it has been to me a huge responsibility and a tremendous challenge to uphold the high standards set out by my predecessors, Prof. Amilcar Labarta and Prof. Jordi Borrell.
