RESEARCH GROUPS

IQS lecturers and researchers are organised into research groups based on common interests in certain scientific fields. They work together on established research lines and also collaborate with external researchers from other universities, research centres and other entities or companies.

IQS has a total of 13 research groups, 11 of which are recognised by the Generalitat de Catalunya, through the AGAUR (7 consolidated, 2 pre-consolidated and 2 emerging, according to the 2017 call for proposals). In addition, 9 of them are part of the IQS Tech Transfer – URL group, which has the TECNIO seal, recognition of the Generalitat de Catalunya, through ACCIÓ, which identifies suppliers of differential technology involved in the process of technology and knowledge transfer.
