The research groups participating in this program work in the Faculty of Science UDC, in the Centre of Scientific Advanced Investigations of the University of A Coruña (CICA), and in the Institute for Biomedical Research A Coruña (INIBIC). Interdisciplinary collaborations are guaranteed as a high proportion of these groups participate in the strategic line named “Strategic Unit CICA-INIBIC”, a synergic activity consortium aimed to give efficient responses to biomedical, technological and environmental challenges with special interest in generating scientific value and economical and social benefit returns.

The grouping’s main aim is to be the benchmark for research, training and transfer for the great challenges facing society, so as to ensure retention of talent and the attraction of resources for sustainable growth.

Student Mobility and internationalization are top priorities promoting the International Doctorate and giving facilities for doing research in collaboration with foreign groups.
