The mission of EMaS is to conduct research, transfer of technology and knowledge to the industry and education in the field of new materials and micro/nanosystems, especially those related to the development of new technologies for sustainable chemistry, the environment, health, energy and communications.

Research mission

Each of the seven research groups of EMaS contribute with their current research lines related to the research field of the center, which configures the initial research framework of EMaS. This framework could be applied and/or adapted to the research fields boosted by the Framework Programme of the European Union, the National Research Plan, and to those fixed by the Direction Board of EMaS and the Rovira i Virgili University.

Transfer mission

The transfer of technology and knowledge to the productive sector in the fields commented above of sustainable chemistry, environment, health, energy and communications is one of the main activities of EMaS.

Education mission

One of the principal objectives of EMaS is the training of PhD and early-career researchers in the scientific and technological framework of the center. EMaS aims to create its own PhD and masters programme to contribute to education.
