AID4GREENEST kicks off: IMDEA Materials Institute set to play key role in the next generation of sustainable steel production

Enhanced material quality, the reduction of carbon emissions and waste generation, and reduced risks to the supply of critical raw materials. These are the three principal objectives of a new international research initiative involving 10 partners from four European countries in which IMDEA Materials Institute (Madrid, Spain) will play a key role.

The Centre

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:

RESEARCH PROGRAMMES

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.
