CMAM scientists will take part in the CMD2020GEFES conference, which is a large international conference covering all aspects of condensed matter physics. The conference will take place from 31st August to 4th September.

The conference combines the biennial meeting of the Condensed Matter Divisions of the Spanish Royal Physics Society (RSEF-GEFES) and of the European Physical Society (EPS-CMD). It is the 28th in the series of Condensed Matter General conferences, held in Europe since CMD1 –Antwerp 1980 and it is an Europhysics Conference, as recognized by the Action Committee on Conferences of the European Physical Society.

Due to the current circumstances and the uncertainties regarding large concentrations of people and international travel for the next few months, CMD2020GEFES goes online!.

All the information about the conference and abstract submission can be found on the congress website.

Registration is free and abstract submission is now open.

The Autonomous University of Madrid has made a public call for the contract of a research support technician, within the program "Talent recruitment" with an estimated duration until August 31, 2023, with the functions detailed below:

• - Get involved in a collaborative project on interaction between ion beams and biological materials, with special emphasis on proton therapy, including instrumentation, experimentation and developments related to the irradiation of biological samples.
• - Participate in the operation, supervision, maintenance and development of beamlines and other scientific equipment of CMAM

In the following link you can access all the information about the call and the request for it.

CMAM has started up again his accelerator under a reduced special operation mode accepting internal experiments and maintenance, only small tasks with limited teams. While the majority of the staff is tele-working, CMAM is proceeding to a controlled and careful restart of the activities which must be realized on site. Only activities which can be carried out by reduced teams under safe conditions are being allowed. All of it according to safety guidelines based on the official ones from the government and the University.

Allocation of beamtime for external users is still pending, following the safety guidelines issued by the University. Once the operation is opened, you will be informed as soon as possible.

For further information do not hesitate to contact at: beamtime.cmam@uam.es
