SUPRAMAT initiative is aimed at connecting the groups and creating high-value and quality long-term relationships. The heart of SUPRAMAT is a network with consolidated research groups sharing aspirations and challenges, experienced scientists willing to share ideas, reduce the distance between the groups and to provide young students training opportunities, development and up-skilling. All these activities will be directed towards the development of novel functional materials by using the wide knowledge of the consortium. Furthermore, SUPRAMAT will bring together research groups to foster a culture of learning, synergy, cooperativity and inclusive growth with a common aim described in two main objectives. The different fields of expertise of the groups that form the network are represented in the next figure:
This should lead to the creation of new lines of research embracing four key challenges: catalysis, optoelectronics, environment and chemical biology, some of them already initiated by some of the groups in the network.
