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.
