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!
Böke, Elvan
Life & Medical Sciences
Centre de Regulació Genòmica (CRG)
Our research focuses on the strategies and mechanisms that allow egg cells to evade ageing for decades, and why these strategies eventually fail with advanced age.
Eskicioglu, Cigdem
Engineering Sciences
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)
As an environmental engineer, I develop technologies to convert waste into valuable resources, aiming for a biorefinery and circular economy. My research tackles industrialization and urbanization challenges by designing advanced reactor processes for contaminant removal and waste-to-biofuel conversion.
Gualtieri, Marco
Experimental Sciences & Mathematics
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)
I work in geometry and mathematical physics, with a focus on developing mathematical structures with applications to quantum field theory. My main contributions have been in generalized complex and Kähler geometry, Poisson geometry, singular differential equations and discrete geometry.
McCready, Elin
Humanities
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB)
Elin McCready works mainly in linguistics and philosophy of language and has published on a variety of topics in the formal analysis of linguistic meaning. She obtained a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Texas at Austin in 2005 and worked at Aoyama Gakuin University from 2006 to 2024.
Roca Aparicio, Anna
Life & Medical Sciences
Institut de Salut Global Barcelona (ISGlobal)
As an infectious disease epidemiologist, I design tailored interventions to reduce viral & bacterial mortality among the world’s most vulnerable populations. My research integrates epidemiology, microbiology and genomics to investigate transmission and develop strategies that drive global impact.
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.
