IMDEA Materials Institute is pleased to announce that it has joined the European Virtual Institute on Knowledge-Based Multifunctional Materials (KMM-VIN) as a core member. The organisation operates as a pan-European virtual institute dedicated to research in advanced materials.
An ambitious project led by the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) and IMDEA Materials Institute aims to develop new tools to address some of today’s most debilitating diseases.
Floatech, spin-off of IMDEA Materials Institute, will receive €2.5 million in new funding after being selected for the European Innovation Council’s (EIC) Accelerator programme.
IMDEA Materials Institute is set to welcome prospective PhD candidates to our annual Open PhD Day, which will take place online on Wednesday, April 15.
Abstract: Crystal plasticity (CP) are well-established models, used, e.g., in scale-bridging applications to obtainmicrostructure-sensitive mechanical response of polycrystalline materials. These models require a properconsideration of

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.
