Sixteen I3PT research projects receive €2,6 million in public competitive calls

The Parc Taulí Research and Innovation Institute (I3PT) has obtained a total of 2.604.000 Euros in competitive funding to develop sixteen health research and innovation projects. This funding comes from different national and European calls, including the program of the Strategic Action in Health 2024 (AES 2024) of the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII) and the State Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research (PEITCI) 2021-2023 of the State Research Agency (AEI), as well as several international programs.

In the framework of the AES 2024, the I3PT has secured funding for nine Health Research Projects and one Health Technological Development Project, with a total of 1.100.000 euros. The projects, led by I3PT researchers, are linked to several research areas of the Institute:
