From hosting visits of high school and university students to participating in the European Researchers Night or the World Economic Forum. At the IMDEA Materials Institute we are fully aware that being able to explain the relevance and nature of the research we do to non-specialised audiences is the best way to create social awareness about the importance of science and technology in our daily life and also to raise the curiosity of the younger generations to pursue a career in materials science and engineering.
Senior researchers, postdocs, PhD students, lab technicians as well as personnel from the project management and technology offices are involved in these actions, ensuring that the experience of working on an institution such as IMDEA Materials is passed on to all kinds of public.
Below, you can get a sample about the outreach activities that we are engaged in.
IMDEA Materials Institute researchers, Prof. Javier Segurado and Dr. Carlos Ruestes, have participated in an informative webinar about the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships Call 2023.
IMDEA Materials Institute has today received the visit of almost 40 students from IES Juan Antonio Fraguas Forges, as part of our ongoing mission to spread interest and awareness in science and research among the younger generations.
IMDEA Materials Institute today hosted its annual “Open PhD Day” for students looking to take the next step in their scientific careers and those interested in pursuing their doctorate studies in a variety of fields related to materials science.
Collaboration between IDMEA Materials Institute and the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) could lead to increased opportunities for student and talent exchange programs.
IMDEA Materials Institute celebrated Science Week 2022 with a visit from students from Colegio Retamar in Madrid with the European BIOMET4D and BioImplant-ITN projects part of the activity’s focus.
IMDEA Materials Institute would like to congratulate researcher Andrés Sierra Soraluce after being awarded the best oral presentation yesterday at the Fatigue, Fracture and Wear Conference 2022.
IMDEA Materials Institute is delighted to announce the launch of our 2021 Annual report, available now for download. It provides a snapshot of the important work done by the institute over the past 12 months.
IMDEA Materials has welcomed students from the University Carlos III in Madrid as part of activities organised by the Institute for the European Union’s European Researchers Night 2022 project.
On March 29, from 13.00-14.00, we will host a webinar on “data-driven approaches to smartly engineered porous materials” imparted by Maciej Haranczyk, leader of the Computational and Data-Driven Materials Discovery research group.
If a day is commemorated, it is because something special has happened or will happen. Since 2016, the 11th of February has a different nuance. Each year brings a louder voice that reminds us that science is one.
Prof. Javier Segurado, leader of our Multiscale Materials Modelling research group, will present the webinar “FFT based simulations for capturing microstructure effect on the mechanical response of metals”.
Next 29th of September, Prof. Carlos D. González, leader of our Structural Composites research group, will present an IMDEA Materials webinar on “the use of machine learning for smart manufacturing of structural composites”.
We all have a responsibility to try to preserve our environment as best we can. However, if you are involved in research, your responsibility is even greater. That’s the message of European Researchers’ Night, 2021.
Prof. Dr. De-Yi Wang, leader of our High Performance Polymer Nanocomposites (HPPN) research group, will present a new webinar related to his research on environmentally friendly flame-retardant materials.
The document defines 28 industrial R&D&I priorities and contains an annex in which 10 universities and technological centers of the PAE, including IMDEA Materials Institute, outline their research priorities.
We are delighted to announce the launch of the IMDEA Materials Institute 2020 Annual Report, designed to give you an overview of the Institute and its main achievements from the previous year.
