A clear direction for science with purpose.

ICN2's Strategic Plan sets the course for the centre in a context of growing scientific complexity and rising societal expectations. Building on a decade of achievements, it focuses on three overarching priorities: strengthening our international scientific leadership, deepening our engagement with society and industry, and reinforcing the internal foundations that make long-term excellence possible.

The Plan is fully aligned with the Severo Ochoa Programme 2023–2026 and prepares the ground for the next cycle. At its core, it reflects a single conviction: work at the smallest scale can deliver the greatest impact.

Reinforcing International Scientific Leadership

Strengthening scientific excellence and expanding ICN2's global presence through a well-defined research programme and a robust internationalisation strategy.

Engaging with and Transforming Society

Developing ICN2's innovation ecosystem and ensuring that research outcomes translate into tangible social and economic value.

Practising Responsible Leadership

Reinforcing our internal foundations through actions in people development, sustainability, governance and resource mobilisation.
