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!
Ahmad, Shahzada
Engineering Sciences
Universitat de Barcelona (UB)
My research mission is to address societal challenges for renewable energy. For this, we design and develop innovative materials, uncover the kinetics and interface to elucidate the mechanisms at the molecular level, it also expands to low power switching materials for neuromorphic application.
Caño-Delgado, Ana I.
Life & Medical Sciences
Centre de Recerca en Agrigenòmica (CRAG)
I study how steroid hormones control plant development and environmental adaptation through spatially defined signaling mechanisms. By integrating molecular genetics, cell biology and systems approaches, my research advances fundamental plant science and translates into improved crops in agriculture.
Font Ribera, Andreu
Experimental Sciences & Mathematics
Institut de Física d'Altes Energies (IFAE)
I am an observational cosmologist, what means that I use astronomical data to study the origin, evolution and fate of the Universe. In particular, I look at the spatial distribution of millions of galaxies and distant quasars to provide precise measurements of the expansion history of the Universe.
Garcia Borràs, Marc
Experimental Sciences & Mathematics
Universitat de Girona (UdG)
I investigate the fundamental principles that govern enzymatic reactivity and selectivity, with the goal of bridging molecular understanding and enzyme design. My research aims to translate this knowledge into novel biocatalysts for more sustainable and efficient chemical processes.
Quattoni, Ariadna
Engineering Sciences
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)
I am an AI researcher focusing on natural language processing and machine learning. My main goal is to create novel technology that allows individuals to interact with data sources through transparent and precise natural language interfaces that can efficiently adjust to changing data environments.
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.
