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.
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!
Almécija, Sergio
Humanities
Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (ICP)
My research explores creative ways to investigate old questions about the past, present and future of humans and other organisms. To accomplish this, my team enlists disparate evidence: from fossils to biology and behavior of living species, novel large-scale phenomics, or classic philosophy.
Gomez Fernandez, Javier
Life & Medical Sciences
Institut de Bioenginyeria de Catalunya (IBEC)
My work utilizes materials science as the foundation for studying natural systems and developing sustainable solutions. By combining concepts and tools from biology to robotics and industrial engineering, I study and replicate biological principles to integrate them into technological solutions.

Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (ICP)
Ashley Hammond’s research focuses on the discovery, description, and analysis of the fossil record for ape and human evolution, with special interests in biological form and function of the postcranial skeleton.
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.
