The Research Institute of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, as a CERCA center, is part of the new CERCAGINYS project. It is an access plataform to the different scientific and technical infrastructures of the research institutes and other centers that have this certification.
A total of 196 platforms are available from the 41 CERCA centers that are classified by category and by quality accreditation, among which are those of IR Sant Pau.
The initiative wants to optimize access to these facilities for the entire scientific and technological community, and, especially, it wants to demonstrate the possibility that the private business and industrial sector can also make use of them and be able to access the services of highly technical personnel qualified
This proposal is part of a wider project, linked to the Infrastructure Action Plan funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation through I-CERCA. The agreement with the Ministry recognizes the existence of a system of centers in Catalonia and opens the door to the future creation of a virtual Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructure (ICTS).
