Our logo tries to illustrate what ICREA researchers are, and what they represent. Stars are often recognised as a sign of excellence, but in our logo, the star itself is not drawn: it is seen indirectly by its impact around it. That is a good metaphor for our researchers, who are stellar in themselves, and recognised by their impact on all of us.
