Prof. Eugenio Oñate, President of the IMDEA Materials Board of Trustees, has witnessed remarkable advancements and challenges in computational mechanics over nearly 50 years.
In the context of scientific development in Spain, a new initiative has emerged aimed at advancing the field of Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering (RMT).
The excitement and adrenaline of the racetrack may seem worlds away from studying for a PhD in the labs of a scientific institute like IMDEA Materials.
Abstract: Accurate prediction of continuous casting defects is key for cost-efficient processing of new steel grades that meet the needs of modern transportation and energy
Abstract: Thermal gradients during metals additive manufacturing (AM) generate non-equilibrium and complex microstructures, particularly in multi-phase materials. Hence, most current adoptions of AM by various

The IMDEA Materials Institute is part of the Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies (IMDEA) network, an institutional framework created to foster social and economic sustainable growth in the region of Madrid by promoting the generation of scientific knowledge and technological innovation in a number of strategic areas (water, food, energy, materials, nanoscience, networks and software).
We are a non-profit organisation (foundation) with the Mission of doing research of excellence in material science, contributing to tackle the challenges of society and fostering the sustainable development of the region of Madrid.
Our Vision for the future is that IMDEA Materials becomes a leading research institute, internationally recognized for its excellence in material science and its contributions to the transformation of society.
This is sustained on our three main pillars:
excellence in materials science and engineering research
attraction of talented researchers from all over the world to work in Madrid in an international and interdisciplinary environment
technology transfer to industry to increase competitiveness and maintain technological leadership
As a result, in 2019 IMDEA Materials was recognised as María de Maetzu Unit of Excellence by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation:
The IMDEA Materials Institute has an stablished international reputation in the areas of design, processing, characterization, modelling and simulation of advanced materials for applications in different industrial sectors with particular emphasis in transport and energy.
Through our Research Programmes we combine oriented fundamental research with applied research addressing the scientific and technological challenges that drive innovation in materials science and engineering. This combination provides the institute the ability to address ambitious technological challenges in collaboration with companies to create value in their products and processes.
IMDEA Materials Institute has state-of-the-art laboratories to manufacture, characterise and simulate advanced materials and nanomaterials, including their integration in lab scale prototypes and devices.
