The The University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) has recognized six research groups within the Institute of Applied Computational Science and Technology (IAC3) as consolidated groups. These groups have been awarded funding through the “Programa de Foment de la Recerca i la Innovació 2024-2026,” aimed at supporting their ongoing research activities.
The recognized research groups are:
-
SOLPHYS: Solar Physics
-
GRAVITY: Gravitational Physics: Theory and Observation
-
GRAC: Gravitation, Relativistic Astrophysics, and Computing
-
ONL: Optics and nonlinear sciences
-
SSDD: Dynamic Systems
-
MIA: Mathematics, Imaging, and Learning
Supporting excellence in research
The funding, granted under the resolution by the Vice Rector for Scientific Policy and Research, aims to provide structural support for the ordinary functioning of consolidated R+D+I groups. This initiative seeks to strengthen the foundation for the sustainable development of these groups, as outlined in Regulatory Agreement 15350/2024.
The funding supports ordinary expenses for recognized R+D+I consolidated groups, prioritizes principal investigators (PIs) or co-PIs in joint coordination, and requires acknowledgment of the “Programa de Foment de la Recerca i la Innovació” in related publications. It may also be co-financed by the Annual Sustainable Tourism Promotion Plan for 2023 (ITS2023-086).
