The Research Center for Multiscale Science and Engineering (CCEM) celebrates obtaining the accreditation of María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence

On November 14, the Assembly Hall of the Diagonal-Besòs Campus was filled to celebrate a shared success: obtaining the María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence accreditation, granted by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities in the 2023 call. The CCEM has thus become one of the seven research centers that have received accreditation in this call, which received 56 applications, thus becoming part of a prestigious group of 66 centers and research units that lead the best science, at a national and international level.

During the meeting, the director of the CCEM, Professor Josep Lluís Tamarit, researcher in the Department of Physics at the UPC, recalled the history of the collective effort that led to the creation of a center that, today, is positioned among the best in Europe in its field. The CCEM promotes cutting-edge research in materials science, in the field of micro and nanoengineering, nanotechnology and nanoscience, and constitutes a multidisciplinary hub formed by eight research groups.
