IBEC signs an agreement with ICMS of TU Eindhoven to foster their collaboration

The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), based in the Barcelona Science Park, and the Institute of Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS) at Eindhoven University of Technology, have signed the first agreement between the two institutes to foster their collaboration. This institutional alliance will allow to share resources, knowledge and provide mobility programs.

 

The institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS), have signed the first agreement to promote the mutual cooperation in the areas of scientific research and education. The objective of this partnership – which will have an initial duration of five years– is to foster research and academic cooperation between both centres and align research goals by sharing knowledge and infrastructures and establish secondments based on scientific collaboration. Moreover, this alliance enables the application for joint international project proposals and offer joint master, doctorate and postdoctoral programs.

Both research centres share similarities such as their multidisciplinarity, their active missions to connect with industry and clinicians, and a strong research in nanomedicine, chemical biology, chip technology, regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

he collaboration started back in 2018 when ICMS and IBEC planted the first seed of this promising partnership by celebrating the first joint symposium in Eindhoven and last year they celebrated the second symposium in Barcelona. Also two group leaders, Vito Conte and Lorenzo Albertazzi, already have dual appointments ICMS – IBEC..
