Description
The Multiscale Center is dedicated to research, development and innovation in the fields of micro- and nano-engineering, nanotechnology and nanoscience (among others). It is a multidisciplinary project involving various UPC research groups, with the objective of strengthening work in fundamental and applied research where different levels of complexity are present.
Research at the CCEM focuses on three scientific basic and applied pillars: health, energy and environment.
