Financial support programmes :
- Many french and foreign companies collaborate with ICMCB in the field of materials and ceramics : Airbus, Arkema, CEA, Corning, Dassault, EDF, Essilor, Exxelia, Imerys, Merck, Metallor, Orano, Safran, Schneider, Solvay, STMicroelectronics, Thalès
- An important part of our research is carried out in association with institutional organizations : European Networks of Excellence (IDS FunMAt), Research Clusters, ANR, CNES, DGA, CEA, ADEME, Région Aquitaine
- ICMCB is also part of "Initiative d'Excellence of University of Bordeaux" and develops research works within four French clusters of excellence : Amadeus, Laphia, CPU and Storex.
Any other relevant information :
ICMCB focuses on three research areas : Solid State Chemistry, Materials Science and Molecular Science. Ceramic materials, their processing (including powder synthesis, study of sintering mechanisms) and their characterization, are major scientific topics for materials science at ICMCB. Research covers all length scales from nano-particles to macroscopic bulk ceramic materials.

Platinum Internship Programme at CGCRI!
As a part of the platinum jubilee celebration, CSIR-CGCRI is proud to announce the ‘PLATINUM Internship Award’ to invite young undergraduates to gain from the knowledge and experience of accomplished scientists by working at CSIR-CGCRI and to inspire them to pursue S&T as a career. This is meant to be a preparatory phase for young interns to imbibe the spirit of inquiry and learn the tools and techniques of research during their stay at CSIR-CGCRI.
