A strategic framework for advanced materials research

ICMAB research lines organise the institute’s scientific activity around three major societal and technological challenges: materials for energy, materials for electronics and materials for health.

They provide a strategic layer that connects research units, research groups, scientific services, projects and collaborations across the institute.

This overview page is designed as a gateway to the ICMAB research ecosystem, helping users understand the main scientific priorities and navigate towards the units and groups working in each area.

How research lines structure ICMAB science

Research lines are the strategic entry points to the ICMAB scientific ecosystem, connecting challenges, research units, groups and advanced infrastructures.

Strategic priorities

Each line addresses a major scientific and societal challenge where advanced materials can create long-term impact.

Research units

Research lines connect to research units that group related expertise, methods and materials systems.

Research groups

Groups contribute specific scientific agendas, projects and methods within each strategic line.

Scientific services

ICMAB scientific and technical services support preparation, characterization, modelling and analysis across all lines.
