Following Enthusiasm, Challenging Perspectives: A Memorable Visit by Nobel Laureate Benjamin List

June, 2, 2026

🧑‍🔬 Yesterday, researchers from HG Energy had the opportunity to take part in an inspiring visit by Prof. Benjamin List, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 2021, at the Instituto de Tecnología Química (CSIC-UPV).

✨ His talk, “Follow your enthusiasm”, was a powerful reminder that innovation often comes from questioning established approaches and having the confidence to explore new ideas. Prof. List’s enthusiasm, curiosity and passion for science were evident throughout the session, making it a highly motivating experience for everyone in attendance.

🎤 We are especially proud that Dr. Sara Goberna Ferron from HG Energy contributed as moderator during the discussion with early-career researchers, while Prof. Hermenegildo Garcia Gomez and Dr. Urbano Díaz, both members of HG Energy – ITQ (UPV-CSIC), participated in the roundtable debate alongside Prof. List and other leading researchers.

💡 Beyond the scientific discussions, the event encouraged us to look at research from a different perspective and reinforced the value of curiosity, creativity and independent thinking.
