Hoy martes, 8 de julio, la secretaria de Estado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación del Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, Carmen Vela Olmo, entregó los diplomas acreditativos del Programa Internacional de Becas de Doctorado “la Caixa”-Severo Ochoa de la convocatoria 2013, en el CaixaForum de Madrid.

Se trata de la primera convocatoria de este programa, que ha concedido 69 becas para que estudiantes españoles y extranjeros puedan cursar doctorados en universidades españolas y centros de investigación acreditados con el distintivo de excelencia Severo Ochoa.

Estas ayudas cuentan con el reconocimiento unánime de la comunidad educativa y forman estudiantes "competitivos a nivel internacional", ha señalado Carmen Vela, durante el acto de entrega.

La secretaria de Estado estuvo acompañada en la ceremonia del director y del coordinador de Enseñanza del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), Rafael Rebolo y Antonio Aparicio, respectivamente, así como del director general de la Fundación “la Caixa”, Jaime Lanaspa, la directora general adjunta de la Obra Social “la Caixa”, Elisa Durán y el director territorial en Madrid de CaixaBank, Juan Carlos Gallego.

Bernat Ollé, directivo de Pure Tech Ventures en Boston (Estados Unidos) y elegido Innovador del Año en España 2013 por el MIT Technology Review TR35, intervino también en el acto como representante de los antiguos becarios de la Caixa. El subdirector del Área de Ciencia y Medio Ambiente de la Fundación “la Caixa” y responsable del programa de becas y estudios sociales dio lectura al nombre de los becarios que recogieron sus diplomas.

Los estudiantes de la convocatoria 2013 del Programa Internacional "la Caixa"-Severo Ochoa-Astrofísicos Residentes del IAC que recibieron este diploma hoy en Madrid son los siguientes:

- Ernest Alsina Ballester
- Ismael García Bernete

    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in collaboration with the University of Geneva (Switzerland), the University of Osaka (Japan), and the University of Zhejiang (China) has made a key contribution to a more precise measurement of the expansion of the Universe. This is because they have made an improvement in the precision of the calculation of the scale of the universe in its early stages using the analisis of the distribution of gas in intergalactic space, measurements which reach back to epochs between 10,000 and 12,000 million years ago. This result comes from the análisis of

    The IACTEC headquarters has recently hosted the meeting between the engineering team behind the future European Solar Telescope and an international panel composed of some of the world's leading experts in the development of large telescopes and solar observation instrumentation. It is common for major scientific projects to undergo this type of scrutiny during their development as a way to independently verify their quality and viability. The evaluation process began over a month ago with the submission of all the design documentation to the reviewers. In this case, the evaluation focused

    A pioneering study from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) which combines laboratory chemistry with astrophysics, has shown for the first time that grains of dust formed by carbon and hydrogen in a highly disordered state, known as HAC, can take part in the formation of fullerenes, carbon molecules which are of key importance for the development of life in the universe, and with potential applications in nanotechnology. The results are published as a Letter to the Editor in the prestigious journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. Fullerenes are carbon molecules which are very big
