Manuel García-Carpintero, senior member of BIAP, has been awarded an ICREA Acadèmia grant for 2025. This is the fourth time he has received this prestigious grant since the ICREA Acadèmia program began in 2008. Huge congratulations, Manolo!
In its 2024 call for applications, the ICREA Academia programme has awarded sixteen members of the research and teaching staff (PDI) of the University of Barcelona. In the Catalan university system, fifty professors from different fields of knowledge have been recognized, each of whom will receive 40,000 euros per year for a period of five years. The UB is the institution that has received the most grants in this call for applications.
The ICREA Acadèmia programme started in 2008 and offers research intensification grants to outstanding university professors who already hold permanent positions in the Catalan research system and are in an expanding phase of their careers. The grant is for five years and is intended to promote the awardees’ research by relieving them from teaching duties. Additional information here.
