Research groups of IREC have achieved the SGR distinction from AGAUR, in either stand-alone or joined initiatives. The aim of the SGR-Cat 2021 call is to provide transversal support to researchers at all stages of their scientific career and whatever their field of knowledge, with special emphasis on the identification of new researchers and empowering female leadership. This recognition should allow the SGR groups to strengthen their scientific, economic, and social impact, in addition to promoting their international projection.
