Once a month, MNEXT offers on a Thursday around breakfast/lunchtime (12:15 p.m./7:15/8:15 a.m.), an interesting online session in which we take a closer look at the ever-changing world of materials and the energy transition. These sessions are intended for anyone who wants to stay up to date on the latest developments in these crucial fields. Each session is tailored to a specific level—beginner, intermediate, or expert—depending on the topic.
Check the calendar to see when the next Breakfast/Lunch & Learn is scheduled and sign up. We look forward to seeing you online! Want to make sure you don't miss something? Leave your email address and sign up for MNEXT.
In 2026 we have a scoop. We have invited 2 professors from UFOP that are involved in the Living Lab Biobased Brazil to present their research.
On Thursday February 5th 12:15 – 13:00 Dutch time / 07:15 – 08:00 Minas Gerais time (BRT), Dr. Mateus Xavier Silva will give a lecture on Computational chemistry as a powerful tool to explore new materials such as biobased adsorbents, biobased catalysts and green fuels, and to understand the mechanisms involved when developing these materials.
On Thursday February 12th 12:15 – 13:00 Dutch time / 07:15 – 08:00 Minas Gerais time (BRT), Dr. Liliane Catone Soares will give a lecture about the potential and challenges of using biomass-based adsorbents and catalysts for the removal of contaminants or the use as catalyst supports or active phases in a wide range of reactions, including biomass valorization and biodiesel production.
