Starting from a small gathering of the PhD students of ICMAB in 2011, JPhD scientific meeting of Barcelona Nanocluster-Bellaterra (BNC-b) that incorporates ICMAB, ICN2, IMB-CNM and UAB has emerged as an outstanding platform for networking and scientific communication over the last 10 years.

Following this 10-years journey, it is a great pleasure to announce the upcoming edition of this conference, the 6th scientific meeting of PhD students of BNC-b, JPhD 2021. JPhD2021 is aimed to exchange knowledge about scientific research from different fields, share research works and communicate among the PhD students of the BNC- b in an academic and scientific environment. The meeting will integrate the entire UAB research framework and open to other institutes and universities as well. The conference will be a 2-day long hybrid event framed with oral presentations, poster session (hopefully presential), workshops and interesting scientific plenary talks regarding current scientific issues given by established researchers in their own fields. We invite all the PhD researchers to the JPhD2021 to use this opportunity for fostering collaboration
