BYAXON PARTICIPATES IN FUTURE TECH WEEK

  

Future Tech Week is an initiative of the European Innovation Council Pathfinder in order to provide a snapshot of what is currently brewing in Europe's tech sphere and the science that creates tomorrow's technologies. 

The project ByAxon will participate with a a face-to-face open-lab activity. "Connect the neuron" will be hosted by the coordinator IMDEA Nanociencia and ICMM-CSIC. Scientists from both institutions will provide to people from all ages an insight to the scientific research and project outputs of our project ByAxon. 

The event is free and open to all public. Register to attend now.

BYAXON RESEARCHERS CELEBRATE EUROPEAN RESEARCHERS' NIGHT

Researchers from the project ByAxon celebrated the European Researchers' Night in the open-doors day at IMDEA Nanociencia. Mª Concepción Serrano (ICMM) and Lucas Pérez (IMDEA) welcomed a group of interested people with two talks about spinal cord injury and possibilities that science could bring to aid this condition.



After the welcome, the visitors got involved with researchers in two hands-on workshops directly at the research labs facilities at IMDEA Nanociencia. 

The European Researchers' Night is a scientific dissemination project promoted by the European Commission within the Marie Sktodowska-Curie action of the Horizon 2020 programme. The Night takes place simultaneously in more than 371 European cities since 2005 every last Friday in September. This year, ERN activities at IMDEA Nanociencia were included within the Future Tech Week.
