DOCFAM+ (DOCtoral training programme in Functional Advanced Materials: Towards a Better Future) is a new doctoral programme for the recruitment and training of 26 excellent doctoral researchers. It builds on the success and remarkable outcomes from the previous DOCFAM programme by providing a new dimension through highly interdisciplinary and intersectorial research. IMB-CNM participates in the programme, led by ICMAB-CSIC.

The IMB-CNM-CSIC launches the initiative with the support of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) – Ministry of Science and Innovation, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the invention of the transistor. The contest opens the reception of works until April 2023 and students from primary, secondary, high school and training cycles can apply, with three different prizes in each modality. The institute will make educational materials available to schools to promote the completion of the work.

The IMB-CNM organized and collaborated in five activities for the 5th European Researchers' Night, which were attended by more than 100 people throughout the week. The events, in Barcelona and L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, have brought together audiences of all ages.

Recently, the Printed Electronics Laboratory at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM) has become part of the distributed ICTS MicroNanoFabs, in which the Micro and Nano Fabrication Clean Room is integrated.
