Last month, I was part of the Local Organizing Committee of a nanolithography workshop with roughly 60 participants. Specifically, I was in charge of the logistics, not only in terms of preparation, but also during the workshop on site.
The 9th Edition Spanish Workshop in Nanolithography was held on October 22, 23, and 24, at the Santa Pola Castle-Fortress, near Alicante (Spain). Nearly 60 experts from national and international institutions gathered for this meeting, organized by the University of Alicante in
coordination with the Nanolito Network, under the respective leaderships of Carlos Untiedt and José María de Teresa. It is worth noting that the workshop date coincided with the 20th anniversary of the Spanish Nanolithography Network (Nanolito) foundation.
In the venue located at this historical landmark, attendees had the privilege of discussing the state of the art of nanolithography with prominent invited speakers Anpan Han (Denmark), François Parmentier (France), Carla Pérez Martínez (United Kingdom), Andrea Migliorini (Germany), and Sandra Stroj (Austria). Furthermore, dozens of contributors leveraged this great opportunity to convey their most novel results through their talks and posters.
As part of this meeting, The Nanolito Prizes for the best PhD theses in nanolithography were granted to Alba Salvador-Porroche and Juan Salvador-Sánchez. In addition, prizes for the best oral communication and the best poster were awarded To Amaia Sáenz Hernández and Maedeh
Sepehr, respectively.
At the conclusion of the workshop, the scientific committee highlighted the fruitful exchange of scientific ideas and technical novelties that took place in the Alicante neighboring town, and foresaw a successful continuation of Nanolito collaborations and workshops for another 20 years and beyond.
