AMBER (Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research) is a Science Foundation Ireland funded centre that provides a partnership between leading researchers in materials science and industry. We are researching materials that will transform everyday products of the future, from mobile phones to knee implants, batteries to plastics. AMBER brings together Ireland’s leading material science researchers working across the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry, Bioengineering and Medicine; with an international network of collaborators and companies. AMBER has a track record in delivering excellent science with 24 ERC awards since 2013 and over €55 million secured in EU and International research funding.

The clustering of material science research expertise, state of the art infrastructure and a team of professional support staff has enhanced Ireland’s international reputation in materials science research and driven increased investment from industry. AMBER has over 40 industry partners working on collaborative research projects.

AMBER is hosted in Trinity College Dublin , in collaboration with eight other academic institutions across Ireland.
