About the activity
Since its inception in 1996, TMSB has been a vibrant platform for fostering collaboration and innovation in the fields of sensors and biosensors. Initially bringing together researchers from the Euroregion (France and Spain) thanks to the initiative of Professors Salvador Alegret, Jean-Louis Marty, and Maurice Comtat, the meeting has evolved into an annual event that connects scientists from across Europe and beyond.
With the goal of providing young researchers with the opportunity to showcase their work, this congress prioritizes PhD students, offering them a friendly and supportive environment to present, discuss, and refine their ideas.
Join us to discover the latest advancements, build valuable connections, and get inspired by the next generation of scientific leaders!

Prof. Francisco Javier Andrade
Doctor in Chemistry from the University of Buenos Aires and Master's in Environmental Analysis and Assessment from Imperial College (University of London). University professor and former Ramón y Cajal researcher in the group of Chemometrics, Calorimetry, and Nanosensors at the URV. He leads the nanosensor research line, with pioneering contributions in low-cost sensors and wearable devices for health and sports. His research also covers electrochemical sensors, organic transistors, and new systems for generating analytical signals. With over 60 publications and 10 patents, he combines a solid scientific background with significant experience in innovation and technology transfer, including roles at Unilever (UK) and the creation of the Innovation Hub Catalunya Sud. He is co-founder of the spin-off EOX Sense
*The Transfrontera logo was created by Jaume Reverté for the XXVIII edition of TMSB, and since it reflects the spirit of the conference, the URV has decided to continue using it.
