The Societat Catalana de Física and the Institut Menorquí d’Estudis organize another edition of the Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània – Josep Miquel Vidal with the support of ICFO, GIQ-UAB and Catalonia Quantum Academy.
Its main goal is to provide a framework for knowledge exchange on a current topic in the Mediterranean area. In addition to constituting a scientific forum, these meetings contribute to facilitating the relationship and communication between scientists and technicians from the immediate surroundings.
The 40th edition of the meeting is devoted to the presentation of recent advances in quantum science and technologies. While the event focuses on research by groups working in the Mediterranean area, it is open to any researcher interested in the field, who will find opportunities to exchange results and ideas in a nice and open environment.
Invited speakers:
- Alba Cervera, BSC
- Bruno Díaz Julia, UB
