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.
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.
We are delighted to announce the launch of the IMDEA Materials Institute 2019 Annual Report, designed to give you an overview of the Institute and its main achievements from the previous year.
We are glad to announce the second episode of the IMDEA Materials Institute webinar series, that will take place the 27th of May at 12.00pm Madrid time to be hosted by Dr. Damien Tourret on Microstructure prediction and modelling.
Discover how our grandchildren’s Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) will be in the future in this TEDx talk by IMDEA Materials Institute chemist and head of our Optoelectronics research group, Dr. Rubén Costa.
The RSEQ has published an interactive periodic table where we can enjoy a short and didactic description of all the chemical elements. Dr. Rubén D. Costa has participated in this initiative describing the Curium element.
This year’s Madrid Fair for Science and Innovation was a great opportunity to have been able to transmit the research of excellence in science and materials engineering to all those in attendance.
Last week we participated in the program “4ºESO + empresa”, through which high school students of the Lourdes School made an approach to an adult work environment and thus better understand the world of work.
Last Tuesday, February 8, IMDEA Materials opened the doors to children of the Community of Madrid to have the opportunity to know the great work done by women scientists and transmit them the enthusiasm they have in science. In the
Are you interested in learning how we contribute to improve 3D printing of metals?, do you want to manufacture composite materials or learn how to improve the fire behabiour of plastics?. You can visit us next November 14th as part
A delegation from the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research visited IMDEA Materials Institute’s facilities with the objective of exploring possible future lines of collaboration.
