ICAMCyL participated in the 1st Spanish meeting on metallic alloys for nuclear applications

In this first meeting we had the opportunity to learn about other groups' work and show ICAMCyL's capacities and projects in this field of growing interest. The meeting demonstrated the enormous potential of the country in the fields of simulation, characterization, development and design of advanced materials, both for nuclear applications and resilience under extreme conditions.

ICAMCyL and University of León sign a collaboration agreement

Last March, both institutions signed a collaboration agreement to promote new training and knowledge transfer activities, as well as new R&D projects in their common lines of research. The alignment of their lines of work with the Smart Specialization Strategy (RIS3) of Castilla y León will facilitate the incorporation of students to local job opportunities and therefore to retain local talent in Castilla y León and avoid the brain drain.
