Economía Circular Gipuzkoa 2021  “Creation of Sustainable Conductive Bioink (BioCon)”  (2021-2022)

The BioCon project aims to create conductive ink from a novel process based on graphite/graphene exfoliation facilitated by the presence of crystalline nano-cellulose. The proposed process is economically viable, non-toxic and circular. The conductive ink created with this process is compostable, renewable and biocompatible.

The project is a joint effort between SIMUNE Atomistics and EVOLGENE (https://evolgene.com/) related to production optimization of conductive ink.

Project funded by Diputación de Gipuzkoa.

HORIZON-MSCA-2021 “Spin-orbit materials, emergent phenomena and related technology training (SPEAR)” (2021-2025)

SPEAR will create a European network of experts providing challenging, state-of-the-art training for young researchers in the field of fundamental and applied Spin Orbitronics.

Module Photoion: Streamlining the study of molecular photoionization processes in time domain (2020 – 2021)

Project Acronym: Photoion
Materials modelling and simulation are becoming an integral part of product life cycle management in industry. The complexity associated with both open-source and commercial software often hampers its use in industry. The joint efforts of SIMUNE and Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) are devoted to make Xchem package1 ready for industry. Xchem has been proved to provide reliable predictions2 and opens the way to new applications in emerging scientific disciplines, as attochemistry, singlemolecule imaging, coherent attosecond control of chemical reactions, etc.3

Full project Title: Definición, Desarrollo e Implementación de Software ASAP (Atomistic Simulation Advanced Platform)

COST Action CA18222 (2019 – 2023)

Project Acronym: AttoChem
Full project Title: Attosecond Chemistry
The AttoChem network will coordinate experimental and theoretical efforts to exploit the large potential of attosecond techniques in chemistry, with the aim of designing new strategies for the control of charge migration in molecules by directly acting on the attosecond time scale. This ability will be used to selectively break and form chemical bonds, thus opening new avenues for the control of chemical reactions. The results of the Action are expected to have a significant impact in several areas of chemistry, such as photovoltaics, radiation damage, catalysis, photochemistry, or structural determination.

COST Action CA17139 (2018 – 2022)

Project Acronym: EUTOPIA
Full project Title: European Topology Interdisciplinary Action
The EUTOPIA COST Action will establish a collaborative platform to approach all those problems, in the study of biological and soft matter, that feature topological characteristics. The outcomes of the research carried out thanks to the EUTOPIA Action will push forward the boundaries of our current understanding of key systems, and foster the knowledge transfer of scientific findings to industry and, ultimately, to society as a whole.
