Purpose

Promote basic and applied quality research in the areas or inorganic chemistry, materials, analytics and physical chemistry. Contributing thus to technological development, from its fundamental aspects up to their implementation, while focusing on local, national and regional relevance issues.[2]

History

Created in 1992 as an institute of the Universidad de Buenos Aires,[3] in 1995 it became also a CONICET institute.[2]

Its first director was Dr. Roberto Fernández Prini along with Dr. José Antonio Olabe as vicedirector. In May 2008 Dr. Ernesto J. Calvo became director after a public competition for the position.[2] Dr. Darío Estrin is the current director.[4]

In 2007 the seminaries classroom was named Roberto Fernández Prini to honor its founding director.[5]
