The Institute for Separation Chemistry in Marcoule (ICSM)

Created in January 2007, the Marcoule Institute in Separation Chemistry (ICSM) is a Joint Research Unit (UMR 5257) between the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), the University of Montpellier (UM) and the National Graduate School of Chemistry in Montpellier (ENSCM). ICSM is composed of 3 research axes gathering 8 laboratories working in close collaboration (see the 2019-2022 scientific report, pdf format):

It is affiliated with the Chemistry Division of the University of Montpellier, as well as the Institute of Sciences and Technologies for a Circular Economy of Low-Carbon Energies (ISEC) within the Energy Division (DES) of CEA Marcoule. In this context, ICSM aims to develop fundamental research with the primary objective of "offering choices" for the development of separation chemistry processes applied to the field of decarbonized energies, while integrating the challenges of sustainable nuclear energy and the broader challenges of recycling for a virtuous circular economy.
