Born in 1999 as a joint initiative between Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) and Universidad del Pais Vasco – Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU), the long-term aim of CFM (cfm.ehu.es) is to push forward the frontiers of knowledge on advanced materials science research, by putting together stable teams with a record of excellence in scientific research. CFM quality work has been recognized by the Basque Government acknowledging its instrumental body MPC  (see CFM's governance) as a Basic Excellence Research Center (BERC).

CFM headquarters are located in Donostia-San Sebastián, and offers a well configured, high quality working environment with modern facilities (building is operational since 2010), both for experimentalist and theoreticians.

• The DIPC was created as an intellectual centre whose main aim is to promote and catalyse the development of basic research and basic research oriented towards material science to reach the highest level. Since its creation, the DIPC has been an open institution, linked to the University of the Basque Country, serving as a platform for the internationalising of basic science in the Basque Country in the field of materials.
• During its short life, the DIPC Foundation has become an international point of reference in basic research in the field of the Physics of Materials. This relevance shows in the quality of the researchers who have done research stays at the Foundation, the international level of the conferences held there, and, mainly, by the importance of the scientific contributions made as a consequence of the activities carried out at the DIPC.

Delft Circuits is a hardware company from the Netherlands. Delft Circuits designs develops, and manufactures i/o solutions (cabling) for the quantum industry. The Cri/oFlex® technology introduces an ultra-low thermal conductance and scalable cryogenic i/o solution, using conducting and superconducting circuits on flexible substrates. Designed specifically for cryogenic setups, it provides excellent microwave performance, low thermal load, integrated signal conditioning, flexibility, ease of installation and reliability.

attocube systems is the technology leader for ultra precise nanopositioning and measurement solutions, compatible with extreme environmental conditions such as ultra-high vacuum, magnetic field, as well as cryogenic to elevated operating temperatures

IBM Quantum is bringing useful quantum computing to the world and making the world quantum-safe. IBM Quantum builds the hardware, software, and services users will need to solve useful problems with quantum computers, while securing enterprises for the quantum future

The Condensed Matter Physics Center (IFIMAC) is a “María de Maeztu” Excellence Research Unit, located in the campus of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) pursuing cutting-edge research and scientific excellence. IFIMAC got the first MdM Excellence accreditation on the 2014 call and it was renewed in 2018. The Center comprises researchers from several university departments aiming to advance the limits of knowledge in both theoretical and experimental Condensed Matter Physics. 64 researchers constitute its permanent staff, together with 19 tenure-track positions for young researchers -- Ramon y Cajal, Talent Attraction, Junior Leader, IFIMAC Leaders (from MdM funds)--, and up to 150 postdoctoral researchers and PhD students. Research performed in IFIMAC has gained world reputation in the following areas: Advanced Materials, First Principles Simulations and Modelling, Nanophysics, Nano and Quantum Optics and Soft Condensed Matter and Biophysics.
