Leading ICMAB’s scientific strategy and institutional development
The Direction of ICMAB-CSIC provides scientific and institutional leadership for the Institute. It coordinates strategic priorities, supports research excellence and connects scientific activity with the organisation, resources and services that make it possible.
The Direction team works with management, research groups, scientific and technical services, strategic units and the wider ICMAB community to advance the Institute’s mission.
Institution-wide communication and participation are reinforced through the General Assembly, which brings together the Direction, the General Manager and all ICMAB staff.
Prof. David Amabilino
Director since 31 January 2023 and CSIC Research Professor, David Amabilino works in functional molecular materials, supramolecular materials, chiral materials and energy capture.
He has supervised around 20 doctoral theses and 12 master’s theses. His distinctions include the 2011 Hermanos Elhuyar–Hans Goldschmidt Lectureship Award and the 2022 RSC Materials Division Horizon Prize, Stephanie L Kwolek Award, for the invention of chiral organic materials that enable high control of photon and electron spin.
General Assembly
The General Assembly is formed by the Direction team — the Director and Deputy Directors — the General Manager and all the staff of the Institute.
It provides an institute-wide setting for sharing strategic priorities, major institutional developments and matters that concern the ICMAB community. By bringing scientific, technical, administrative and support teams together, it strengthens transparency, participation and a shared understanding of the Institute’s direction.
