Huge congratulations, Esa!
The ICREA Academia programme has awarded, in the 2023 call for applications, seven male and five female researchers at the University of Barcelona. Overall, in the Catalan university system, forty professors from different fields of knowledge have been recognised, and each 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.
These grants, awarded by the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA), aim to promote research talent in Catalan universities.
Since its creation, the ICREA Academia programme has awarded more than 430 members of the Catalan university system with these grants, which are aimed exclusively at university teaching staff who are in a fully active and expanding phase of their research activity.
