Participation

European Commission

Large research projects aimed at consolidating large European centres. IDIBAPS coordinates 13 European projects and participates in more than 40.

The most ambitious biomedical research projects cross borders, and the model promoted by the European Commission is one of the most attractive ones in the international scene. In recent years, IDIBAPS has played a growing role in European biomedical research. Currently, its researchers coordinate more than 10 projects financed by the European Commission and take part in nearly 50 more, all obtained through competitive tenders. This makes IDIBAPS and Barcelona an important focal point of European biomedical research.

It entails a major financial investment, which is controlled through the Fundació Clínic and the European Projects Office (ope(ELIMINAR)@clinic.ub.es), and also great responsibility towards the citizens of Europe and the world.
