Founded in 2000 by the Government of Catalonia, the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia started its research activities in 2004. ICIQ is committed to performing excellent research at the frontier of knowledge in two main areas: Catalysis and Renewable Energy.
The institute also has two other commitments: knowledge and technology transfer to the chemical, pharmaceutical and energy industrial sectors and that of training the future generation of scientists by offering high-quality educational programmes to master and PhD students as well as postdoctoral researchers.
Our mission is to lead, from the vantage point of molecular science, cross-strategies for solving major social and economic challenges, such as climate change and sustainable supply of energetic and raw materials, thereby contributing to the establishment of a knowledge-based economy and improving quality of life for all.
Since the creation of the ioChem-BD platform in 2013, ICIQ has been compromised with the digitalization of its research. Currently, eChempad is being developed to allow experimental researchers to digitalize their data.
Currently, the eChempad platform allows researchers to extract experimentation data from the PerkinElmer Signals Notebook in bulk, enrich them with metadata, and finally publish them into CORA RDR a Dataverse instance maintained by the Consorci de Serveis Universitaris de Catalunya (CSUC).
This GitHub organization is used to store all the repositories related with ICIQ digitalization.
To know more about other digitalization services at ICIQ, you can check the ICIQ digitalization portal or read the ICIQ digitalization documentation.
These are the links of the services available for the digitalization process at ICIQ:
