thank you so so much Virginie!!! 🌸🙏🙏🙏
Today we celebrate the #DayOfPhotonics and recall our #ICFOOpenDay ✨
Through lab tours, hands-on activities, and conversations with researchers, attendees discovered how #photonics help us understand and improve the world around us.

A la tarda, hem donat la benvinguda a famílies! 🙌
A través d’activitats, experiments i xerrades, hem compartit la nostra recerca amb públic de totes les edats.
#ICFOOpenDay
Apropant la #fotònica i les seves aplicacions als estudiants! 💡
Un matí complet de visites a laboratoris, xerrades amb #ICFOnians i activitats per descobrir què fem a l'ICFO.
#ICFOOpenDay
👋 La Diana, el Miguel, la Rebecca i el Chunyu ens obriran les portes dels seus laboratoris!
Demà, a l’ #ICFOOpenDay, ells i altres #ICFOnians voluntaris acompanyaran els grups que ens visitaran en un recorregut per diversos laboratoris i activitats 🔬
🎉 ¡Orgullo RSEQ! Nuestros socios @casadevallcarla.bsky.social,
@nikinikki87.bsky.social y @carlosmyruela.bsky.social han sido galardonados con una prestigiosa #ERCStartingGrant 2025🔬 Enhorabuena!!!!!

Carissimo Massimo, grazie infinite per tutto! And thank you so much for such an amazing conference #espbari2025 🥳🌸
Dear Virginie, thank you so much 🙏🌸🌸
it has been a great pleasure to finally meet in person!
Hope we get new chances in Spain soon :)
Grazie mille Giorgia, è stato un grande piacere conoscerti alla ESP e condividere e chiacchierare sul treno del ritorno :D
a prestissimo spero 🙏🌷🌸
Dear Fabienne, thank you so much!!! ❤️🙏🌷
Congrats to Dr Nicoletta LIGUORI who gets an ERC Starting Grant project accepted! 👏👏👏

@erc.europa.eu
@nikinikki87.bsky.social is one of the Young Investigator Awardee of our society and gave a fantastic lecture at the #ESPcongress2025 in Bari a few days ago
dear ESP thank you so much super proud to be part of your community!!! ❤️🌱
Thank you so much Thomas 🙏🙏🌸
Plants require sunlight to survive, yet excessive exposure can cause photodamage.
Luckily a photoprotective "switch" triggers the conversion of excess solar energy to harmless heat.
Nicoletta Liguori @icfo.eu will research the mechanics involved.
