The ICREA community is devastated by the sudden decease of our dear friend and colleague Albert Costa, ICREA Research Professor at UPF.
Prof. Costa was a highly respected scholar with a huge influence in the neuroscience of language, and above all, an extremely lovable and loyal person who will be very sorely missed.
We also want to express our deepest condolences to the family and his numerous friends. Rest in peace, Albert.
The funeral will take place at the Poblenou funeral parlor, at Sancho de Àvila st, tomorrow Friday 14th of December, at 12:05h.
This year, 10 ICREA Research Professors have been among the top 1% most cited researchers by Clarivate Analytics. An impressive performance by any stardards. Josep Dalmau (IDIBAPS), Manel Esteller (IDIBELL), Toni Gabaldón (CRG),Frank Koppens (ICFO), Maciej Lewenstein (ICFO), Josep Llovet (IDIBAPS), Maurizio Mencuccini (CREAF), Sergei Odintsov (CSIC-ICE), Mira Petrovic (ICRA), and Romain Quidant (ICFO -again!).
Out of the 120.000 researchers working in Spain, only 115 have made into the list. ICREA researchers have fared extremely well thanks to their outstanding recognition and influence they have gained in their respective fields.
Congratulations to all of them, and also to their host institutions for this well deserved recognition.

ICREA fully condemns recent violent events, unjustified and unjustifiable, exercised in Catalonia yesterday.
ICREA fully condemns recent violent events, unjustified and unjustifiable, exercised in Catalonia yesterday. We express our rejection, our indignation and our outmost disapproval. We believe that the use of force against citizens is unacceptable in any democracy.
Beyond the diverse personal political positions within the ICREA community, we have to reiterate that the only possible way out in any conflict, is dialogue and we will never cease to claim dialogue as the only legitimate means in a mature democracy.
