BYAXON PARTICIPATED IN THE EUROPEAN RESEARCHERS' NIGHT 2018
1st October 2018
The project ByAxon participated in the European Researchers' Night 2018, held on the 28th September at IMDEA Nanociencia, in Madrid. The partners Concepción Serrano (ICMM-CSIC), Lucas Sanchez and Rubén Guerrero (IMDEA Nanociencia) presented to a group of interested people the fundamentals of ByAxon research in the form of talks and interactive activities for a young and general public. In total, 33 visitors attended the activities.
The workshops were organized jointly with young scientists of IMDEA Nanociencia. During the workshops, the attendees learned what is a magnetic field, what are the magnetic signals generated by the neurons, and made the steps to build up a nanoelectrode.
To finish, the visitors could have a look to the "European Corner", where microscope images of the research carried on at ICMM and IMDEA were displayed.
The European Researchers' Night is is a pan-European scientific event taking place on the last Friday night of September; the event receives funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme- Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions- under Grant Agreement No. 818528. ByAxon is an european research and innovation project funded by the Horizon 2020 program and under Future and Emerging Technologies frame.
