X International Workshop on Sensor and Molecular
Recognition (2016)
Polytechnic University of Valencia-poster
Meeting between research groups from several Valencian Universities devoted to sensor design, synthesis and evaluation took place. Since it took place, we believe that it could be a good idea to yearly search for a moment to share our results and experiences with other research groups, and not only within the Valencian Community.

IV Jornadas Ibéricas De Fotoquímica en Lisboa (2014) The Grupo de Fotoquimica of Sociedad Portuguesa de Quimica (SPQ) and the Grupo Especializado de Fotoquimica (GRUFO) of Real Sociedad Espanola de Quimica (RSEQ)- Poster
Portuguese and Spanish Photochemistry communities in a high quality scientific program that spans over the many aspects of photochemistry and its interface with photophysics and photobiology, covering new and established techniques and methodologies, fundamental aspects, materials and applications. The 25th Biennial Meeting of Organic Chemistry (2014) University of Alicante-speaker
The research lines they are working on organic chemistry are many, and so their applications. All of them will be addressed in the seminar. They are asymmetric catalysis, which tries to mimic the behavior of nature for products with high optical purity; synthesis of natural products; development of new organic materials; medical chemistry, which studies any application of organic molecules to the area of Biology, Medicine, Pharmacology, etc; organometallic synthesis, dedicated to the mixture of organic compounds with metals; development of new synthetic methodologies; and computational organic chemistry. The aforementioned applies to the fields of medicine, industry, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food and automotive industry
