The IDR is a multidisciplinary Research Center of the University of Castilla-La Mancha created in 1993 that welcomes I+D+i initiatives linked to issues with a direct impact on our region. The contribution to the regional development of Castilla-La Mancha and the special interest in applied research are the basic lines on which its work is based.
The institute is structured into three research areas, which are organized into sections that focus their research on multiple disciplines, sometimes made up of various areas of knowledge.
The IDR human team is made up of a staff of 121 researchers, of which 48% correspond to permanent PDI and 52% to scholarship holders and personnel hired for the development of the different lines of research and ongoing projects.
It is located on the Albacete Campus, it has a surface area of more than 3,000 m2, of which approximately 700 m2 corresponds to laboratories equipped with unique equipment that has been acquired with the financing of competitive national and international projects, and that provide service to the different sections of the IDR and the scientific community of the UCLM.
