On April 28 and 29, 2025, the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM), CSIC, is hosting its III Seminar for Young Materials Researchers (YOUMAT25). The event is taking place in the ICMM Assembly Hall, from 8.30 AM to 6.30 PM on the 28th and from 9.00 to 14:00 on the 29th.

This meeting aims to promote communication and interaction between PhD students who are starting research in the area of Materials Science, as well as to create a space in which these young people can discuss the results of their work with senior staff. PhD students from other centers in the materials area are also invited to participate.

In addition, it is intended that young students from other centers can attend so that they can get to know the ICMM, and consider it among their options to develop their end-of-degree, master's degree projects, or carry out their doctoral thesis.

HERE YOU CAN CHECK THE FINAL PROGRAM.

The oral communications will be held in English and will last 15 minutes (12 for exposition + 3 for questions). Flah presentation will be 3 min (withouth questions).  The scientific posters must be 90 x 120 cm. The candidates will bring them themselves. They will be exhibited in the hall of the centre during the assigned day and will be presented during coffee breaks. 

The seminar concludes with an informal round table where young researchers can clarify their doubts about the future with young doctors from different margins (Ramón y Cajal, Talento, Juan de la Cierva, Doctors hired in the Industry, etc.) accompanied by a cool beer.

Awards

There will be five prizes: for the three best communications, for the best flash presentation and for the best poster. A diploma will be delivered and an interview will be held with the fifth winners. This interview will be disseminated in the ICMM media (web, television at the centre, social networks) and the sector's media and will serve as a cover letter for the researcher in their career.
