The goal of LUCES is the creation of a multidisciplinary network, comprised of researchers from academia, technological centers and industry, working towards the development of luminescent sensors to be used to help resolve environmental security problems.
📢Yesterday, the LUCES COST Action Core Group gathered in Madrid for a meeting. Hosted by Prof. Paula Bosch at the ICTP-CSIC, the team came together to define the next steps for our network, including the next GAM in Athens. A thank you to Prof. Bosch and the ICTP team!🙏 @costprogramme.bsky.social
