The societal impact of our research is a guiding principle for CIMNE’s innovation efforts. We tailor our technology transfer priorities to cater quantifiable results to the benefit of society.
At CIMNE, maximizing research impact is a core value for our technology transfer strategy. Our commitment aligns with local and international mandates, including the guidelines set by CERCA, to ensure that our research delivers tangible benefits beyond academia. CIMNE’s mission seeks to address major societal challenges such as climate adaptation, sustainable mobility, clean energy, industrial processes, and health, by transforming advanced research into solutions for public and private stakeholders. Our structured approach nurtures collaboration with industry, government, and communities, delivering tangible results that maximize global well-being.
From fostering the green energy transition with local partners to cooperating with global industry leaders for advanced manufacturing processes, we integrate research excellence with active knowledge transfer to empower cross-cutting innovation. Our impact strategy is continuously refined to respond to evolving societal needs and to promote sustainable, measurable change. In 2024, CIMNE embarked on a generative roadmapping exercise to define the centre’s research priorities for the next decade with thought input from academic, industry and community leaders.
