Strategic Research Programme 2024-2027
It is well established that the effects of climatic change will transform the conditions in our country and have a great impact on the life conditions in the coming decades. The scientific, technical and social research must define objectives based in the scientific information and in the forecast of the transformations, to establish the necessary adaptations. The field of advanced materials can have a profound impact in the way in which we produce and use the energy, and in the conditions of living. One important approach is to use chemical approaches for the production and storage of energy, combined with the light-matter interaction involved in solar energy conversion, with also efficient and cheap light production. Combining biological matter with organic and inorganic materials can provide a range of fundamental knowledge and significant applications that cannot be achieved otherwise.
The plan for the institute combines three major lines divided in several specific lines:
Chemistry to transform society (new chemical routes)
Energy Conversion and Management (chemistry of materials and physical processes)
Adapting biological materials for functional applications
