GTP and IIS-FJD get a grant from Mutua Madrileña Foundation

Researchers from the Group of Powder Technologies (GTP) of the University Carlos III of Madrid in partnership with the Microbiologic Department of the Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria of la Fundación Jiménez Díaz (IIS-FJD) has recently obtained a grant in the XVI Call for Health Research of Mutua Madrileña Foundation to conduct a project within 3 years entitled “Design of biodegradable and bactericide sol-gel coatings for the local prevention and treatment of infections associated with biomaterials of clinical devices”. The project is leaded by Antonia Jiménez-Morales at the UC3M and by Jaime Esteban Moreno at the IIS-FJD. Amaya García-Casas and John Jairo Aguilera Correa complete the research team that will be involved in the project. The IIS-FJD is an accredited health research institute, a requirement to request this grant.

Esta lista presenta una recopilación de las actividades de investigación actuales en centros de investigación europeos con reconocida experiencia en el desarrollo de aspectos fundamentales y aplicados de las tecnologías de materiales duros.

Estos centros destacan por su carácter potenciador en el desarrollo de redes, enlaces e interacciones formales entre organizaciones industriales y proveedores de investigación en toda Europa.

Great success at the first annual meeting of MULTIMAT-CHALLENGE

On Thursday, April 28 was held the first annual meeting of the R&D program on technologies MULTIMAT-CHALLENGE (www.multimat.org), funded by the Regional Government of Madrid and led by the Group of Powder Technologies (GTP) of the University Carlos III of Madrid. The meeting, held within the framework of the Materials Week (Excellence Moncloa Campus), was conceived as a scientific workshop to keep in contact the researchers participating in the program and representatives of partner companies, and to share the advanced and numerous research topics that are being developed within the program in the three areas of interest: transport, energy and health. The meeting attracted more than 120 participants, including PhD students of the participating groups, as well as master and pregraduate students of the participating universities. Read more+
