IMDEA Materials Institute has concluded two productive days hosting the latest meeting of CompSTLar, bringing together 15 partners from across Europe to review progress and define the next phase of the project.
An international research team has demonstrated how conventional radiative cooling coatings can be optimised to further reduce building surface temperatures, cutting energy consumption, while also improving fire safety.
Artificial organs, implants that are absorbed and regenerated with our own bone, mini-organs to replicate diseases and test treatments before experimenting on living beings… Will we achieve the dream of eternal youth?
Abstract: Early-stage scientific breakthroughs rarely fail because of weak science; they do so because the path from lab to venture is not structured early enough.
The PhD defence will take place in the Video Room 3.S1.08, Rey Pastor Library Building of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.How to get there: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Av.+de+la+Universidad,+30,+28911+Legan%C3%A9s,+Madrid,+Spain

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.
