#CreatingImpact

At @icn2.bsky.social we are committed with the European Green Deal! Our partnership within @pecathseu.bsky.social Project is part of our contribution! ♻️ ☀️ 🌻
Stay tuned!

At PeCATHS, advanced materials characterisation is key to unlocking cleaner and more efficient energy pathways.

The ICN2 leads this effort, providing atomic-level insights into how catalysts, electrodes, and devices behave during energy conversion.

A perfect way to wrap up the season before the summer break — recharged, reconnected, and ready for what’s next! ⚡

These few days were filled with fruitful discussions, brainstorming sessions, teamwork and strategic planning for the exciting months ahead. We explored new equipment possibilities and shared ideas, all while surrounded by the stunning scenery of a natural park.

Escaping the intense 40ºC heat of Barcelona, we enjoyed refreshing 20ºC temperatures at 2000 meters altitude — the perfect setting for inspiration and collaboration.
