Organizational structure
IRYCIS organises its research into five priority thematic areas, in which 42 research groups (37 consolidated and 5 emerging groups) are arranged.
Consolidated and Established groups have Principal Investigators leading projects of the National R&D&I Plan or of the European Union Framework Programmes, and with more than 70 and 50% respectively of their publications positioned in quartiles 1 and 2 during the last 5 years (Source: Institute for Scientific Information, Web of Knowledge), in addition to innovation and transfer and dissemination activities oriented to society.
IRYCIS Access groups have applied for at least one competitive project as PI in the last two years and accredit at least 40% of publications led in the last five years. Additionally, they may accredit innovation and transfer activities and dissemination activities oriented towards society.
IRYCIS research is also supported by a large number of PICAs (Associated Clinical Research Staff), who carry out clinical trials and/or projects funded by private entities, as well as innovation and transfer activities or dissemination activities aimed at society.
