The ICN2's expertise lies at the nanoscale, where new properties, interactions, and ways to exploit them in everyday life are being discovered. Among its goals is to bring together scientists from diverse backgrounds in the pursuit of better science, better training, and better outreach to society while also seeking out new ways to engage with local and global industry.
ICN2 was accredited in 2014 as a Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence, a recognition renewed in 2018 and 2023 for another 4-year period. The Severo Ochoa Programme, sponsored by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, aims to identify and support Spanish research centres that are among the world’s best in their specialty.
The objective is to commercialize the technologies developed in ICN2 (know-how, patents), with the ultimate goal of establishing long-term strategic relationships with companies for the commercialization of ICN2 technologies better orientated to real market needs.
From the Technology Transfer Office at the Institut Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) we aim to connect our health technologies with industrial partners for licensing and joint value creation, while building collaborations to accelerate their path to market
