Funding

ICIQ is very active in seeking funding from competitive research projects of the Catalan, Spanish and European administrations. We also make a great effort in securing economic resources from industrial collaborations. Our goal is to decrease the contribution of non-competitive public funding in our budget.

Moreover, participation in research projects promotes scientific collaboration with research groups and companies at the international level. It also allows us to address scientific challenges that would not be possible to carry out individually.
