En el Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid somos más de 300 personas las que trabajamos cada día en áreas de conocimiento multidisciplinares que, unidas, son mejores. Sin embargo, nuestro centro no es solo un lugar de trabajo, es un lugar en el que pasamos muchas horas, sufrimos la frustración cuando un experimento no nos sale, nos alegramos cuando logramos alguno de nuestros muchos objetivos... en resumen, vivimos. 

Por todo ello, parte de nuestra seña de identidad es la vida comunitaria que se respira entre nuestras paredes y en nuestros grupos de investigación y demás personal técnico, de administración y de mantenimiento. De hecho, a lo largo del año son varias las actividades que nos permiten vivir la ciencia de una manera más humana, más colectiva. Aquí van algunas de ellas.

Theatre

Our famous theater group has been around for decades, with a unique play per year: at the New Year's party. Every Christmas, several members from our center, from all possible positions, come together to entertain us with their satires, jokes, and dances to close the year on a fun-filled day. The group is always open to welcoming more actors and actresses.

Music: Within Experimental Error... 2.0

Since 2023, our parties have their own music: Within Experimental Error 2.0 (the second version of our last band, which disappeared some years ago) plays some of the greatest hits of music's history. Its members are: Elena López (voice), Nacho Jiménez (voice), Irene Castro (Viola, voice), Estrella Sánchez (Cello), Shulamit Edelstein (Piano), Luisi Forzani, (bass), Alvaro Blanco (guitar), Ramón Aguado (Guitar, harmonica), Carlos García, (clarinet), Irene Colomar (soprano and alto saxo) and Miguel Camblor (tenor saxo).

Material Knitters

El club de costura del ICMM se llama Material Knitters. Nos reunimos para tejer, hacer crochet, bordar, compartir ideas, técnicas y sobre todo para hacernos compañía y sacar un tiempo para hacer nuestras labores. No importa qué actividad hagas o quieras aprender, si implica aguja e hilo nos interesa.


Material Knitters is the sewing circle of ICMM. We get together to knit, crochet, embroider and share ideas, tips and techniques, but mainly we'd like to keep each other company and somehow make some time to actually work on our needlework. It does not matter which activity you can do or want to learn, if it involves needles and yarn we're interested.

Running

We go out running on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 13:00 hours in Valdelatas, the forest right next to our center. It's an hour to exercise, relieve stress... and then get back to research! If you enjoy sports, don't just watch us, join us.

Meditation

We meet on Mondays and Wednesday from 1PM to 2PM. We aim to learn our mind and body deeply through different meditation tools. If you want to join us, please get in touch with belenv@icmm.csic.es  o m.m.rojo@csic.es for more information

Party

The end of the year and the end of the school year are two crucial moments in any institution, and ours is no exception. Although the Christmas party is famous for the theater performance, in all gatherings, we enjoy a pleasant feast accompanied by conversation and music to liven up the day.

Of course, here we share sorrows and celebrate joys, so whenever there is an award, it comes with its corresponding invitation to a little party. And, if the weather is nice, we go out to the garden and enjoy the greenery and the shade of our olive trees.
