ICREA ÉS UN INSTRUMENT DEL GOVERN CATALÀ
ICREA és una institució pública, finançada al 100% per la Generalitat de Catalunya.
ICREA és una institució oberta. A ICREA treballem braç a braç amb les universitats i centres de recerca catalans per a integrar els professors investigadors d’ICREA al sistema de recerca català.
ICREA ofereix contractes permanents per venir a treballar a Catalunya a investigadors d’arreu del món.
Amb els anys, aquests llocs han arribat a ser sinònim d’excel·lència acadèmica escala mundial.
COMUNITAT ICREA
Els Professors d’Investigació ICREA formen una comunitat dinàmica de científics i investigadors en totes les àrees del coneixement que contribueixen al progrés de la humanitat amb els seus estudis, interpretacions i preguntes.

UNIVERSITATS I CENTRES DE RECERCA DE CATALUNYA
ICREA no tindria cap sentit sense la densa xarxa d’institucions d’acollida que participen activament en la recerca a Catalunya.
LOS NUEVOS ICREAs
ICREA és una comunitat en expansió. Cada any, tot seguit la resolució de la convocatòria, nous investigadors i investigadores s’incoporen a ICREA . Aquestes són les incorporacions més recents. Volem donar-los una càlida benvinguda a la nostra comunitat. Benvinguts!
Berruezo-Sánchez, Diana
Humanities
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB)
I am a scholar of literature recovering a missing chapter in the cultural history of Afro-Iberian diasporas in the 16th and 17th centuries. With a focus on Spain and in connection with the Iberian World, I aim to provide a new framework to challenge our understanding of Europe’s past and its people.
Biagetti, Stefano
Humanities
Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF)
My research focuses on human adaptation to climate change and food security in drylands. I am developing new geo-ethnoarchaeological methodologies to study pastoralism using a multiproxy approach.
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.
De les Coves, Gemma
Humanities
Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF)
While my background and academic career is centered around quantum information and mathematical physics, in recent years I have been thinking about questions in philosophy and linguistics, mainly around notions of universality and unreachability.
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)
Guxens Junyent, Monica
Life & Medical Sciences
Institut de Salut Global Barcelona (ISGlobal)
My research focuses on investigating how environmental factors, mainly air pollution, temperature, electromagnetic fields, and persistent and non-persistent chemicals, affect children's health, in particular brain development.
Heyn, Holger
Life & Medical Sciences
Centre Nacional d'Anàlisi Genómica (CNAG)
Genomics scientist investigating cellular mechanisms in health and disease. Expert in single-cell and spatial genomics with a focus on immune diagnostics and therapies. Dr Heyn leads CNAG’s Single Cell Genomics group, merging tech and computational expertise for translational and clinical research.
Mazzocco, Marta
Experimental Sciences & Mathematics
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)
Marta is a mathematician specializing in Integrable Systems. Her research fuses geometry, quantum algebra and analysis to attack complex challenges in Theoretical Physics. She obtained her PhD at SISSA, Italy, and is now based at UPC.
Moreno Lax, Violeta
Social & Behavioural Sciences
Universitat de Barcelona (UB)
I am an interdisciplinary lawyer, specialising in international migration, critical security studies, and human rights. My current project 'Towards Border Justice' problematizes the mechanisms of 'crisification' and 'crimmigration' as new means of global migration governance in search of alternative models.
Novoa Pardo, Eva Maria
Life & Medical Sciences
Centre de Regulació Genòmica (CRG)
Dr. Novoa aims to decipher the language of RNA modifications, and how its orchestration can regulate our cells in a space-, time- and signal-dependent manner. Through the use of single molecule technologies, she is studying their functional relevance and exploiting them for clinical applications.
Rasella, Davide
Social & Behavioural Sciences
Institut de Salut Global Barcelona (ISGlobal)
I am driven to develop innovative approaches and advanced methods to evaluate the impact of social protection policies and primary health care on poverty-related diseases, health disparities, and preventable mortality, particularly among the most vulnerable populations.
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.
INFORME ANUAL
Aquests informes de recerca resumeixen el treball realitzat durant un any.
Tot i que les publicacions són sovint la part més visible de la recerca, les nostres ‘memoirs’ dediquen molt espai als altres eltres elements que mostren la contribució dels nostres investigadors a la millora del sistema català de R+D: creació de nous equips d’investigació i obertura de noves línies de recerca, consolidació d’equips i àrees de recerca ja existents, direcció de tesis doctorals, d’ensenyament en tots els nivells acadèmics, etc.
És per això que les informes inclouen no només la producció científica dels nostres investigadors, sinó també el seu impacte més ampli en el sistema de recerca.
