CiQUS hosts EDEN 4 "IV Spanish Dendrimer Meeting", which will be held in Santiago de Compostela on January 23rd-24th, 2014. CIQUS researcher Eduardo Fernández Megía is the Chairman of the Organizing committee.
Professors Rainer Haag (Freie Universität Berlin, Germany) and David K. Smith (University of York, UK) will be the plenary speakers.
The aim of EDEN 4 is to bring together national and international research groups working in the area, with the intention of sharing scientific advances, to promote collaboration and participation of young researchers.
Dendrimers are synthetic tree-like macromolecules composed of repetitive layers of branching units that are prepared in a controlled iterative fashion through generations with precise molecular weight and discrete properties.
Their globular architecture and size in the nanometer scale render dendrimers attractive for many applications in the fields of catalysis, materials and nanomedicine.
