Organizational structure
IRYCIS organizes its research into five priority thematic areas, which encompass 42 research groups (37 established groups and 5 emerging groups) are arranged.
The Established and Consolidated Groups are led by Principal Investigators (PIs) with projects funded under the National R&D&I Plan or the European Union Framework Programs. Additionally, over the past five years, more than 70% and 50% of their publications, respectively, have been ranked in the first and second quartiles (Source: Institute for Scientific Information, Web of Knowledge). These groups also engage in innovation, knowledge transfer, and outreach activities aimed at society.
The Emerging Groups at IRYCIS have applied as PIs for at least one competitive project in the past two years and have led at least 40% of their publications over the last five years. They also demonstrate innovation, knowledge transfer, and outreach activities aimed at society.
A significant number of PICAs (Associated Clinical Research Personnel) also contribute to IRYCIS's research. They are involved in clinical trials and/or projects funded by private entities, as well as innovation, knowledge transfer, or outreach activities aimed at society.
