Projects Calls

Do you want to spend from 4 to 8 weeks inside a cutting-edge research center, talking to scientists, exploring laboratories, and turning science into stories for society?

On Tuesday 17 October, 12 new PhD candidates celebrated the DocFam+ Welcome Day at ICMAB. Coming from all over the world, they will be pursuing their PhD in research centres in the Barcelona area. 14 more will join them in the following months.

The programme by Women for Africa Foundation is open to applications for visiting senior research fellowships, made possible through partnerships with Spanish Centers of Excellence, such as ICMAB. This programme offers a six-month opportunity for senior African women researchers, with a proposal submission deadline of September 30.

NANBIOSIS opens in June the 2nd competitive open call 2023 for its “Cutting-Edge Biomedical Solutions” and services. At ICMAB we host the U6 of NANBIOSIS: Biomaterial Processing and Nanostructuring Unit. 

Muhammad Ahsan Saeed will work on indoor organic photovoltaics, Silvia Damerio on spintronic devices and Daniel Martin on organic electronic devices. 

The Marie Sklodowska Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF) 2022 call results were announced by the European Commission in February 2023. The call will facilitate the incorporation of 1,235 experienced postdoctoral researchers to R+D institutions (research centers, universities, private and public organisation and small and medium-sized enterprises), 177of them in Spain, 31 of them at the CSIC, and 3 of them here at ICMAB.

PHOENIX-OITB’s mission is to offer a Single-Entry-Point for a consolidated network of facilities, technologies, services and expertise for all the technology transfer aspects:

The deadline is 30 September 2022 to apply for the 8th edition of this programme of the Women for Africa Foundation. 

A senior African women researcher will develop a research project during a 6-month stay at ICMAB. 

The Fundación Mujeres por África (FMxA)(Women for Africa Foundation) is partnering with the Spanish ‘Severo Ochoa’ and other Centers of Excellence to bring the Science by Women programme to fruition. The project intends to host women researchers from African countries, so they can benefit from these research internships to promote and lead the scientific innovation that contributes to tackling the great challenges faced by African countries through research in health and biomedicine, sustainable agriculture and food security, water, energy and climate change.

A new internal competitive call for Frontier Interdisciplinary Projects (FIP) within the Severo Ochoa "Smart Functional Materials for a Better Future" (FUNFUTURE) is now open. The call, open to all ICMAB researchers, either individually or collaborative, has two modalities: “Exploration of novel ideas and methodologies” and “Proof-of-concept”. Deadline is 3 October 2021.
