ICMAB-CSIC

The Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), integrated in the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), is an internationally recognized research center in the field of advanced functional materials and nanomaterials and, since 2016, accredited as a Center of Excellence Severo Ochoa by the Ministry Science and Innovation. The main mission of ICMAB is the generation of knowledge in the areas of energy, electronics and health, based on the excellence R&D and its transfer to society.

To address this mission, very diverse research activities are carried out, widely cultivated during the more than 30 years of the Institute’s, covering a wide range of scientific and technological objectives, which make it stand on the frontier of knowledge in these fields.
