On 2015, the Ajuts a la Recerca Transversal, the so-called ART, were launched. The aim of this program is to promote collaborations in multidisciplinary research among the members of the IN2UB, belonging to different research groups, while causing a positive impact on the CV of the young IN2UB researchers. Since then, the IN2UB have awarded 26 projects with significant implication of each of our main research areas (differences mainly arising from the size distribution among areas). We are proud of the results achieved from these aids, they have boosted the career of many of the recipients, have led to collaborations resulting in the successful application for larger join research grants and have resulted into many join publications. This has undoubtedly impacted the main strategic research goals of the institute: Human Health and Environmental Nanotechnology.
In the following list you will find the title of the awarded projects and, below, a graph pie of the Research Areas concerned
