Organized by UKRI/EPSRC eFutures+ Network
Venue: Advanced Technical School for Building Engineering (Same as INFOS 2025)
C/ Severo Ochoa S/N, Campus de Fuentenueva, 18071, Granada, Spain
Join us for an interactive sprint to explore the future operational and technological landscape for semiconductors in Europe.
The session will bring together international researchers to explore the material futures of chips.
We will be using cutting-edge methods, deployed by the industry, to investigate risk, improve preparedness, and imagine possible strategies, which could support your own research areas.
Discussion will focus on directions for Europe 2025-2040 in this space; and allow for networking between attendees, with the aim of beginning new research collaborations or forming consortia.

Granada
Granada has been the crucible of cultures and civilizations where, during the centuries, christians, muslims and jews lived altogether. Nowadays, Granada is a modern city that has an uncommon scientific and cultural background, along with the University and the institutes of Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and an architectural, natural and historic patrimony like no other. Likewise, it owns a grown and active corporate environment made up of companies based on knowledge, standing out those related to the health campus and new technologies. To all these values, we should add an extensive cultural activity and the well-known hospitality of the people from Andalucia which brings a warm welcome to their guests.
Granada welcomes every year more than 2,5 millions of tourists both nationally and internationally driven here for the excellent touristic offers, the location and the weather, with the Alhambra as the most emblematic monument, being the most visited monument in all Spain.
How to Reach Granada
Direct flights to Granada
International connections exist to Granada (airport code GRX) from London Gatwick and Paris Orly operated by Vueling Airlines. However, given that the number of flights from these cities is quite limited, the best option for reaching Granada by plane is to take an international flight to Madrid or Barcelona and then a domestic flight to Granada.
The airport is located at 17 km from the city center. Upon arrival, the connection to the city can be done by taxi (around 30 eur) or by bus (3 eur). The bus departure schedule is synchronized with the flights arrival and typically takes place around 30 minutes after landing. The bus stop is to the right of the building as you leave the airport.
Direct flights to Málaga
Málaga is the closest international airport to Granada (125 km). International direct flights land at the Málaga airport coming from the main cities of Europe.
Once arrived at Málaga Airport, the possibilities of reaching Granada by public transport are the following:
Direct bus from the airport to the Granada bus station (12.21 eur and around 2 h). This is the easiest transfer possibility. There are around 10 departs per day. In order to check if the timetables fit your flight schedule you can take a look here.
If the direct bus connection is not an option for you, then the most convenient solution is to take a train to Málaga Central Station (María Zambrano Station). From there, you can take a direct bus to Granada (the Central Train Station is in front of the Málaga Bus Station) almost every hour.
