Proceedings of the IX Scientific Congress of Young Researchers

Divided into four main areas, the book compiles 24 studies of young researchers from the University of Córdoba who are just beginning their academic careers and presented them at the 9th Scientific Congress for Early-Stage Researchers, an event organized by the UCO’ Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit.

More functional batteries, solutions to improve the health of holm oaks, the Córdoba archaeological site of Cercadilla, and bullying are some of the topics covered in the book, which aims to boost the academic trajectory of the participants.
