Barcelona City Council

The purpose of this call is to award grants to carry out research and innovation projects – promoted by Barcelona City Council in collaboration with the "la Caixa" Foundation – by means of a competitive tender.

The call aims to support scientific research in the city, as well as:

  - Contribute to generating ideas, innovative responses and scientific evidence on the city's urban challenges, to facilitate informed policy decisions in the future.

  - Increase collaboration between research centres and social organisations in Barcelona.

  - Encourage open access and dissemination of research results, thus enabling knowledge transfer with a view to making it public and obtaining a return.

Projects must be based on research into challenges that fall within one of the following two fields:

  A. Community health

  B. Sustainability and climate change

The procedure for awarding grants will be a competitive public tender. Under the conditions established for the 2023 call, only projects proposed by a group of legal persons can be presented.

The period for submitting applications is from 8 March to 17 April 2023 (both dates inclusive).
