Presently, more than 60 researchers from several countries are working at the Institute of Materials Science and Technology in various applied and basic research projects.

Research at the Institute covers the entire spectrum of engineering materials going from metallic materials to polymers and ceramics and composite materials. Strong emphasis in our work is laid on experimental investigation of materials behavior, however, accompanied by sound physical modeling of the microstructure evolution during processing and service.

The Institute is responsible for the education in the field of materials science, with students from Chemical and Process Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Business Science, as well as Materials Science.
