Established in 1999, the Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter (ICAM) brings together research institutions and physicists from different regions in an open and dynamic partnership to carry out cooperative research and training exchanges. It received financial support from the US National Science Foundation in 2004 to continue and expand its international academic and educational activities. So far, it has 72 branches around the world. ICAM-China was established in January 2012. By 2022, ICAM-China has developed into a joint organization of 25 research institutions in China for interdisciplinary academic cooperation and exchange, with the headquarters permanently located in IOPLY. Covering the intersection from theory to experiment, from physics, chemistry, and biology to materials science, ICAM-China aims to provide a platform for collaboration and exchange in interdisciplinary research between matter, materials and life science, and to further support and promote international academic exchanges and educational activities in China.
