Industrial Advisory Board

The Vision of IMDEA Materials Institute is to become a leading research institute, internationally recognized for its excellence in material science and engineering and its contributions to the transformation of society. To attain this goal, IMDEA Materials has set up an Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) which will provide strategical guidance to improve the relationship between the Institute and industry. The Board will explore new collaboration models, bring the scientific and technological capabilities of IMDEA Materials closer to industry and, ultimately, improve the transfer of knowledge and technology to society. Moreover, the IAB is intended to be an instrument that will facilitate the exchange of ideas between its members and the scientific staff of the Institute.
