Scientific research in the 21st century calls for the use of sophisticated, complex and expensive technologies, which is why IGTP has the presence of the Scientific-Technical Platforms (ICTS). The ICTS have the objective of centralizing procedures and equipment, favouring researchers' access to advanced technology, as well as offering their experience in highly complex techniques. IGTP’s ICTS serve the research groups at IGTP and the Can Ruti campus, as well as groups of public and private external origin.

The ICTS at IGTP receive support from Fundació I-CERCA through the CERCAGINYS program, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (MICIU). As active members of the CERCAGINYS working group, they aim to optimise access to these facilities for the entire scientific and technological community, while also highlighting the potential for the business and industrial private sector to utilise them and benefit from the services of highly skilled technical staff.

You can learn more about the ICTS in this video of the 2024 Can Ruti Campus Core Facilities Infoday, held on 7 May and co-organised by Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute and Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute. The heads of their the platforms gave 10-minute talks on their services and equipment.
