A year of institutional recognition
The Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) is part of the CERCA system of research centres of the Government of Catalonia and is accredited as an Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria (IIS) by Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII).
In 2024, IGTP successfully completed a new CERCA evaluation and was reaccredited by ISCIII. These milestones recognise the institute’s growing impact in translational research and innovation, and reflect its solid progress in recent years.
Strategic Plan 2023-2027
IGTP's strategic plan defines the institution’s key priorities and sets out a series of distinctive actions to be implemented over five years.
It aims to consolidate and strengthen IGTP’s scientific capacities across all areas of activity, while taking into account the current context and the organisation’s expectations and ambitions.
GROWTH AND INSTITUTIONAL ALLIANCES
SO1 Opting for a campus model that facilitates the participation and coordination of R+D+I activities between institutions and creates an environment with unique capabilities.
SO2 Promoting the participation of professionals from the HUGTiP in research activities and networking with other organizations in the environment.
SCIENTIFIC MODEL AND FOSTERING TRANSVERSAL RESEARCH PROGRAMMES
SO3 Consolidate collaboration between the research groups of the institutions of the campus, affirm scientific programmes and favour high-impact multidisciplinary projects.
SO4 Strengthen scientific infrastructure and coordinate areas and research groups with a system that permits both the redefinition of the areas and the evaluation of groups.
DRIVING CLINICAL RESEARCH
SO5 Drive the growth of clinical research in the healthcare services of the HUGTiP, developing the Clinical Trials Unit, the processes and the necessary resources.
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, PROFESSIONAL CAPACITATION AND DEVELOPMENT
SO6 Guarantee the management processes for R+D+I, insure the suitability of resources and the provision and functional distribution of floor space.
SO7 Guarantee the application of initiatives that facilitate the promotion, capacitation, training and development of researchers and ensure gender equality.
FLOOR SPACE, INFRASTRUCTURE AND CORE FACILITIES
SO8 Position the IGTP as a reference node for scientific core facilities in the environment and position the CMCiB as a unique national and international facility.
INNOVATION AND IMPACT
SO9 Strengthen and consolidate the culture of innovation within the institute and actions aimed at supporting the processes of innovation and technology transfer.
SO10 Promote the communications of the IGTP, considering both scientific activity and those that promote participation by society.
