ICREA IS AN INSTRUMENT OF THE CATALAN GOVERNMENT

ICREA is a public institution 100% funded by the Generalitat de Catalunya. 

ICREA is an institution without walls. It works hand in hand with Catalan universities and research centres to integrate ICREA research professors in the Catalan research system.

ICREA offers permanent, tenured positions to researchers from all over the world to come and work in Catalonia.

Over the years these positions have become a synonym of global academic excellence.

ICREA COMMUNITY

ICREA Research Professors form a vibrant community of scientists and researchers in all areas of knowledge that contribute to the advancement of humankind by exploring, interpreting and questioning.

UNIVERSITIES AND RESEARCH CENTRES IN CATALONIA

ICREA would not make any sense without the dense network of host institutions that are actively involved in research in Catalonia.

9 UNIVERSITIES

29 CERCA CENTRES

8 CSIC CENTRES

3OTHER RESEARCH CENTRES

THE NEW​ ICREAs

ICREA is an expanding community. Each year, new researchers join ICREA
after the ICREA call. This is a list of the most recent incorporations. We
would like to give them all a very warm welcome to the ICREA
community: Benvinguts!

Andreas, Crivellin

Experimental Sciences & Mathematics

Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB)

I am a theoretical particle physicist working on the beyond-the-Standard-Model phenomenology. This means I study the fundamental components and interactions of matter, propose theories including new particles and study how they can be discovered and current and future experiments.

Garcia Borràs, Marc

Experimental Sciences & Mathematics

Universitat de Girona (UdG)

I investigate the fundamental principles that govern enzymatic reactivity and selectivity, with the goal of bridging molecular understanding and enzyme design. My research aims to translate this knowledge into novel biocatalysts for more sustainable and efficient chemical processes.

Nogueira Vázquez, Waldo

Life & Medical Sciences

Institut de Recerca del Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (IR-Sant Pau)

As an engineer with clinical experience, my research focuses on the interaction between electrically and acoustically stimulated auditory systems. I employ different methodologies to advance diagnostic approaches for hearing loss and to develop next generation of auditory rehabilitation solutions.

Quattoni, Ariadna

Engineering Sciences

Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)

I am an AI researcher focusing on natural language processing and machine learning. My main goal is to create novel technology that allows individuals to interact with data sources through transparent and precise natural language interfaces that can efficiently adjust to changing data environments.

ANNUAL REPORT

These research reports summarize the work done during a year.

Publications are the most visible part of research, but we must also take into consideration other elements that show the contribution of our researchers to the improvement of the Catalan R+D system: creation of new research teams and opening of new research lines, consolidation of existing teams and research areas, mentoring of doctoral dissertations, teaching at all academic levels, etc.

Thus, the reports quantify not only the scientific production of our researchers but also their broader impact.
