See the list of publications and presentations within the BnB project by different contributing partners

The research findings of the Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers were presented in the 2nd International Scientific Convention UCLV 2019 (II CONVENCION CIENTIFICA INTERNACIONAL 2019 UCLV), the 12th European Symposium on Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry (ESTAC12), and the Chemical research in Flanders – CRF2, 2019.

The following works were presented in the form of posters in these events
