The Institute for Advanced Research in Chemical Sciences at UAM (IAdChem) was established in 2016 as an interdisciplinary unit of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM, Spain). It is formed by 80 researchers belonging to 26 groups of 7 Departments of the UAM:
- Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Bromatology
- Department of Analytical Chemistry
- Department of Chemical Engineering
- Department of Chemistry
- Department of Inorganic Chemistry
- Department of Physics of Materials
- Department of Organic Chemistry
The IAdChem aims to create the best environment to develop solutions to basic science problems and to societal challenges for which Chemistry will be essential to offer new perspectives.
In the last years, several collaborations among the different groups of the Institute have been established, and young researchers with high potential have been incorporated ((Ramón y Cajal, CAM Talent Attraction and María Zambrano).
Research performed in the IAdChem has gained world reputation in these four areas:
- Catalytic Methods for Organic Synthesis
- Functional Molecular Systems and Nanomaterials
- Modeling of Processes and Materials
- Nanomaterials and Sensors
