A coordinated landscape of advanced materials research

ICMAB research units structure the institute’s scientific activity into focused areas of expertise in advanced functional materials, nanoscience, chemistry, physics, modelling and materials characterization.

Each unit brings together research groups, researchers, technical capabilities and scientific methods around shared materials challenges, creating a coherent research ecosystem connected to ICMAB’s strategic lines in energy, electronics and health.

This overview page is designed as a gateway to the units and the research groups working within them.

How research units organise ICMAB science

Research units act as scientific containers: they connect research groups, methods and facilities around shared materials science questions.

Scientific focus

Each unit defines a research domain within advanced materials science and functional materials.

Research groups

Units connect several research groups working on complementary scientific questions.

Shared capabilities

Researchers use common methods, facilities, instruments and scientific platforms.

Strategic impact

Units contribute to ICMAB’s research lines in materials for energy, electronics and health.
