IMDEA Materials Institute has launched a new call for positions within the ‘Programa Investigo 2026’, an initiative aimed at promoting the incorporation of young people into the fields of research and innovation.
IMDEA Materials Institute recently brought together leading industrial and research figures in Barcelona for its 8th Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) meeting, focused on shaping future collaboration in advanced materials, AI-driven innovation and technology transfer.
Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a multifunctional Kevlar-based composite material that combines structural performance with integrated strain sensing, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and de-icing functionalities.
The talk will take place on 28 May, from 12:00 to 13:30, in the Auditorium. Abstract:Structural design is playing an increasingly prominent role in some

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.
