#FOTICMAB2020: Our photo contest is open!
This year, we wil probably not be able to celebrate the ICMAB anniversary in a presential way... however, our photo and video contest FOTICMAB continues to strike back! We have added new categories, that you will like for sure. Apart from the known "scientific" and "artistic", we have added the "confinement" and "cultures" categories, that you can already imagine what they are for. Moreover, we have the video section "monologues with your webcam" to express what you need in front of the camera.
The contest is open for all ICMAB members, from 1st of May to 1st of June 2020. Each author can participate with a maximum of 4 photos per category and with 4 videos. You can upload the photos directly to the FOTICMAB website (login with your Intranet username and password), and giving a title and brief description of the photo. For the videos, you can send them to JAGS with a link of the video by WeTransfer, DropBox, YouTube or any other platform.
The winners will be chosen by public voting, from all the ICMAB staff, between 3 and 14 June 2020, and will be announced on 19 June 2020. There will be a unique prize for each category and up to 3 finalists. Every awardee will receive a prize from the ICMAB.
If you want to get inspired, you can look back at the photos and awards from previous years: 2019 edition, 2018 edition and even back to the 2012 edition!

After last year’s party being cancelled due to the COVID pandemic, we were stoked to be able to finally celebrate again! The 2021 ICMAB Party was celebrated after more than a year without live events due to the collective efforts to stop the spread of COVID. The party was not without changes, as it was celebrated entirely at ICMAB’s terrace to avoid concentrations of people inside. We celebrated on 16 July 2021 with many events, including the first CRYSTALMATCH contest, the awards ceremony for the FOTICMAB contest, the BEFORE&NOW photo activity, a tie dye workshop by Sara Ruiz, Nerea González and Lídia Ballell, a sketching workshop by Alejandro Santos, and the final of the Tennis Table tournament! -

The Institute was one of the four Materials Science CSIC Research Centers founded in 1986. This year is the 35th anniversary of the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona! It was put together in 1986 through the union of different research groups from different local institutions, all coming together in a singular building which was, on its own, a collaboration between the CSIC and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, who conceded some of its territory so the ICMAB could be built near the Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica (the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM)). -

How has the lockdown, restrictions, and the work from home lifestyle affected our research? Monday, 16 March 2020 was not like any other Monday. News came from China and Italy, about a fast spreading virus that required strict lockdowns to avoid its spread. It was clear than sooner, rather than later, actions would have to be taken everywhere else.
