IEEE Magnetics Society 2016 Distinguished Lecturer. He delivered more than 60 Lectures on "The Magnetism of oxides"  at  Conferences, Workshops, Research Centers and Universities, worldwide during 2016.

Medal of the Symposium "Smart Inorganic Polymers" at the 42nd International Conference on Coordination Chemistry, Brest, France (3-8 July 2016).

Victor Lebedev and Jaume Veciana from ICMAB, Dr. Anna Magraso, from ICN2, and Fredi Fernández, specialist in marketing:
Second Prize in the Program “Generación d’Idees”, organized by the UAB Research Park (PRUAB) for the ICMAB OISensing The award counts with 1500 € and 3 months incubation time at Eureka building. The project develops a new material called BL (Bi-Layer) Film, organic and sensitive to infrared radiation, for the detection of far away objects.
