The FIP are an internal call of proposals for researchers of the Institute aimed for the development of high-risk exploratory projects of interdisciplinary character to generate cutting-edge research in the application areas of clean & secure energy, smart & sustainable electronics or smart nanomedicine. FIP projects aim to reinforce the internal links and scientific critical mass of ICMAB's researchers, and to contribute to strenghen the international leadership of the Institute in the area of functional materials.
In 2016 we granted 6 projects with a total of more than 400,000 € for the Institute researchers, allowing the contracts of 3 PhD fellows and 3 postdoctoral fellows within these projects. In 2017 we financed 9 projects with more than 550,000 €, 1 of which was in the new-created category “proof-of-concept”, allowing the contracts of 1 PhD fellow and 7 postdoctoral fellows.
