Cellex ICFO-MPQ Research Fellows
Cellex finances program for collaboration between Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics and ICFO.
February 27, 2015
Fundació Privada Cellex, the private foundation of Dr. Pere Mir i Puig, has a long tradition and interest in promoting research in medicine, physics, mathematics and education. Through a generous endowment from Cellex in 2010, ICFO was able to make an important leap forward in terms of size, world-class facilities and top global talent attraction. Cellex now agrees to fully finance a new program between ICFO and MPQ for the duration of 6 years, creating 4 postdoctoral positions who will jointly work at ICFO and MPQ as “Cellex ICFO-MPQ Research Fellows”. The institutes will have the freedom to define cutting edge research projects between at least one ICFO research group and one MPQ research division.
Today we celebrate a new and important collaboration agreement between ICFO and the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, facilitating cooperation on topics of common interests between both institutes. ICFO’s director, Lluis Torner commented, “We are fully committed to offering opportunities to young scientists in early stages of their careers, who can benefit from the unique training that they will received within the joint MP-ICFO cutting-edge projects. This is a very exciting opportunity for us all”.
