The NANOZERO RISE-MSCA cluster presents the Poster entitled: Nanotechnologies targeting zero-toxic water in ESOF-2022 conference at Leiden.
INDESMOF, RECOPHARMA and SUSWATER RISE-MSCA projects form part of this amazing coordinated dissemination-action catalysed by the MSCA Staff Exchange programme.
It has been a pleasure to participate as the coordinator of the RISE-INDESMOF action within the special session of RISE-MSCA projects of the GEP-SLAP-2022 congress organized by our colleagues in the POLYMAT Institute. Many thanks to Sergio Moya and David Mecerreyes, coordinators of the SUPROGEN and IONBIKE RISE actions, and all the secondees that presented their research developed under the RISE project, within the special session of the congress.
Roberto Fernández de Luis, the coordinator of the RISE-MSCA-INDESMOF action, presented the invited talk entitled: “Metal-Organic Frameworks polymeric composites for environmental remediation” within the GEP-SLAP-2022 international congress. The invited-talk was framed within the EU-projects special session of the congress, where the latest result obtained within the INDESMOF staff-exchange action were presented by the coordinator of the project.
El coordinador del proyecto RISE-INDESMOF, el director del BCMaterials y el investigador Pedro Martins, de la Universidad de Minho, visitan las instalaciones de LUSORECURSOS durante la estancia de Leire Celaya en las mismas. Queremos agradecer a Eduarda Araújo e Vera Freitas su amabilidad y disposición para explicarnos el apasinante proyecto de extracción de Litio que están diseñando, y que de ser aprobado, en un futuro cercano situará a Portugal como referencia en cuanto a las reservas de Litio y su procesado y transformación dentro de la comunidad Europea.
The coordinator of the RISE-INDESMOF project, and the director of BCMaterials and the research fellow of the University of Minho, Pedro Martins, visited the LUSORECURSOS facilities during Leire Celaya’s stay there. We would like to thank Eduarda Araújo and Vera Freitas for their kindness and willingness to explain to us the exciting lithium extraction project they are designing. If approved, this amazing initiative from LUSORECURSOS will place Portugal as a reference in terms of lithium reserves and its processing and transformation within the European community.
H2020 RISE workshop and INDESMOF Mid Term Meeting were a complete success. Thank you all for your participation.
Last minute changes on the RISE-MSCA-H2020 (Marie Curie Slodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange) workshop.
13th September 2019 (9:30 – 12:00)
BCMaterials is pleased to celebrate a half-day RISE-MSCA-H2020 (Marie Curie Slodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange) workshop.
This dissemination action will be held in Leioa, at the Martina Casiano Building Auditorium (s/n, Edif. Martina Casiano, Pl. 3 Parque Científico UPV/EHU Barrio Sarriena, 48940 Leioa, Bizkaia).
The RISE-MSCA General Project Manager of the University of the Basque Country. UPV/EHU (Izaskun Ibarbia), and Coordinator of RISE Chemistry Panel (Sotirios Kiokias) will explain us the general rules of RISE-MSCA projects, and how this action can boost the formation, strengthening and stabilization of worldwide research networks. In addition, Principal Coordinators of RISE-MSCA projects (David Mecerreyes, Sergio Moya, Roberto Fernández) of the Basque Country will explain us the possibilities that offer this European projects.
The workshop will end with a networking coffee between the attendants. The workshop is free, but requires from a previous confirmation. If you are interested, please send an email to roberto.fernandez@bcmaterials.net detailing: Full name, position and institution.
Full schedule of the RISE event is available at workshop. For more information about the workshop contact roberto.fernandez@bcmaerials.net.

Dra. Andreina García, one of the head investigators of the Water, Environment and Sustainability of the Advanced Mining Technology Center (AMTC), has explained in a dissemination activity to the TV-media, the economic impact of microbial adhesion in reverse osmosis technology for Chilean mining industry. Many of mining exploitation in Chile are located in highly water stressed areas with limited possibilities to extract or use the surface or underground water sources without inducing a high hydric impact on the surrounding environment. This scenario has promoted the mining industry to use seawater and reverse osmosis to desalinate it as more environmentally friendly approach to obtain water for ore extraction and processing. One of the research lines of Dra Andreina´s team studies the prevention of microbial adhesion to desalination membranes; an objective that would extend the life of polymer membranes reducing large economic costs and resources to the mining industry.
Dra. Andreina García´s Team participates in the INDESMOF-RISE H2020 consortium coordinated by the BCMaterials, and its expertise on antimicrobial fouling will impact on the development and functional characterization of the MOF-polymeric mixed matrix membranes that will be developed during the next year.
Dr. Roberto Fernández de Luis, investigador de BCMaterials, ha dado una charla en el ciclo de seminarios que el AMTC ofrece quincenalmente en la Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas de la Universidad de Chile, Como orador invitado con la charla “MATERIALES DESCONTAMINANTES DE ALTA VERSATILIDAD”, en la Universidad de Chile el pasado 23 de mayo.
The BCMaterials Associate Researcher Roberto Fernández de Luis will develop a divulgation activity at the Advanced Mining Technology Center in Santiago – Chile the next 23th of May at 13:00. This divulgation activity will show the potentials of the reticular chemistry and porous materials in an easy and funny way, comparing the crystal chemistry of these materials with a LEGO construction based on inorganic and organic pieces. The event is framed within the development of a research secondment funded by the RISE-MSCA-INDESMOF H2020 project.
BCMaterials is pleased to celebrate a half day RISE-MSCA-H2020 (Marie Curie Slodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange) workshop within the EMA2019 (Engineering for Medical Applications) international conference.
This dissemination action will be held in Bilbao (Bizkaia Aretoa – 12th September, 2019). The RISE-MSCA General Project Manager of the University of the Basque Country. UPV/EHU (Izaskun Ibarbia), and Coordinator of RISE Chemistry Panel (Sotirios Kiokias) will explain us the general rules of RISE-MSCA projects, and how this action can boost the formation, strengthening and stabilization of worldwide research networks. In addition, Principal Coordinators of RISE-MSCA projects (David Mecerreyes, Sergio Moya) of the Basque Country will explain us the possibilities that offer this European projects.
Online registration to the workshop, or the complete EMA2019 conference, will be available soon (May 5th). Full schedule of the RISE event is available at https://www.bcmaterials.net/events/. For more information about the workshop contact roberto.fernandez@bcmaerials.net.

Searching and analyzing organic molecules, metal organic complexes and metal-organic extended structures and in Cambridge Structural Database II: Specific analysis
Established in 1965, the CSD is the world’s repository for small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structures. Containing over 900,000 entries from x-ray and neutron diffraction analyses, this unique database of accurate 3D structures has become an essential resource to scientists around the world. BCMaterials has access to the on-line version of the database, including the structures searching tools. However, we can also access, through different research teams of the University of the Basque country, to the
complete-desktop tools included in the package CSD-System applications (ConQuest, Mercury, Mogul, Isostar…).
In this short course, we will explore three case studies related to the main research lines and goals within the BCMaterials:
1) Searching Structures: Metal Organic Frameworks, Lead Iodide Perovskites, Drugs – developing our own database.
2) Analyzing Atomic distances, angles, and conformation and other structural information within our database.
3) Inter-molecular interactions study: Analyzing the weak forces shaping our materials.
