Institut de Chimie et des Matériaux Paris-Est

The Institut de Chimie et des Matériaux Paris-Est (ICMPE) is a joint research unit ruled conjointly by the University of Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC) and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). Our laboratory is developing innovative research in the fields of chemistry and materials science, as well as at the interface with physics, engineering and biology with the main objective of responding to major societal challenges in energy, transport, environment, sustainable development and health. The Unit’s areas of expertise cover both fundamental and applied research on three major cross-cutting themes: i) materials for energy and structural applications, ii) molecules, materials and processes for the environment and sustainable development and iii) chemistry for health at the interface with the living. The ICMPE gathers sixty CNRS researchers and faculty members completed by thirty engineers as well as fifty non -permanent staff (PhD students and post-docs), specialists in molecular chemistry, polymer science, solid-state chemistry, electrochemistry, metallurgy and physics of materials. Based on this wide spectrum of skills, the ICMPE is developing national and international partnerships with academic and research centers as well as with industrial partners. In particular, ICMPE coordinates the French-Australian International Research Network IRN-FACES. PhD fellows at ICMPE follow the PhD program of the Doctoral School SIE (Science for Engineering and Environment) which belongs to UPEC. The SIE doctoral school integrates physics, mechanics, chemistry, geosciences, environmental sciences, and life sciences with a focus on renewable energy, new materials, innovative structures and quality of the environment.
