Víctor Manuel Maestre and Rafael Ortiz participated in the Science Week. They prepared the workshop “El hidrógeno, la energía del futuro: producción mediante energías renovables y aplicaciones”, for secondary students of El Alisal High School and Fuente Fresnedo School, on November 16th, 2020 and November 18th, 2020, respectively.
Andrea Arguillarena and Carmen Barquin participated in the Science Week. They prepared the workshop entitled “LIFE2ACID: Hacia un uso sostenible de los recursos en la industria galvánica”, for a group of secondary students of Torrevelo and Peñalabra School, on November 16th, 2020.
Prof. Inmaculada Ortiz and Dr. Alfredo Ortiz attended the kick-off meeting of the National Network “Sistemas Iónicos para la Sostenibilidad Energética (SISE) last November 13th, 2020, where they presented the main topics of the research group Advanced Separation Processes, where ionic liquids are incorporated. This network is formed by 15 national research groups.
Prof. Raquel Ibáñez, Head of the Sustainable Process Engineering Research Group, is delivering the Conference & Debate “Aguas Residuales, la herramienta para anticiparse a la COVID 19”, in the frame of the celebration of the Science Week. The virtual event is taking place on November 20th, 2020, at 17:00h.
The conference is focused on the control and treatment of water as a powerful tool to improve health and help to fight against diseases like COVID-19. If you want to discover: What wastewaters are, how they are treated and What is their potential to beat COVID, this session could be a good opportunity.
