The COMES group maintains an active network of national and international collaborations with academic institutions, research centers, scientific societies, and technology-based companies. These partnerships are key for the development of joint projects, knowledge transfer, and participation in high-level research networks.

 Scientific Societies

COMES is actively involved in several professional societies and networks, participating in their activities, conferences, and technical committees:

  • AEMAC (Spanish Association for Composite Materials): participation in MATCOMP conferences, scientific committees, and technical outreach.
  • SOCIEMAT (Spanish Materials Society): involvement in the board of directors, collaboration in national congresses, and participation in outreach and educational initiatives such as Materland and Mujeres Ingeniosas .

 Institutions and Research Centers

  • INTA – CEHIPAR (National Institute for Aerospace Technology and Hydrodynamic Test Channel of El Pardo): collaboration in applied research projects on composite materials and structural health monitoring using fiber optic sensors.
  • CSIC (Spanish National Research Council):
  • CENIM (National Center for Metallurgical Research): collaboration in processing, characterization, and analysis of metallic materials, particularly in thermal treatments and microstructure.
  • IEM (Institute of Structure of Matter): collaboration with Dr. Christophe Rappold on the development of advanced instrumentation for experimental nuclear physics, within the framework of international projects such as WASA-FRS (GSI-FAIR).
  • GSI – FAIR (Darmstadt, Germany) : collaboration in simulation of instabilities in accelerated solids, and in the development of irradiation testing on materials using SIS-FRS-ESR facilities.
  • University of Sheffield (United Kingdom) – CA2M Group (Computer-Aided Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Team): collaboration on advanced finite element simulations, damage analysis in composites, and development of XFEM models applied to multiaxial testing.
  • National and European Universities : through research stays, thesis co-supervision, and participation in coordinated R&D projects.

These collaborations allow the COMES group to integrate cutting-edge knowledge into its research lines, promote researcher mobility, and actively contribute to scientific and technological advances in the field of materials and structures.
