The Programme to Promote Internal Research (FRI) at INSA-UB is a competitive call for research projects that foster collaboration among researchers from different groups at the Nutrition and Food Safety Research Institute (INSA-UB), and stimulate the creation of original and innovative projects. One requirement is that the projects must be carried out by researchers from at least two INSA-UB research groups, with significant participation of both groups.
The aim of the Programme is also to contribute to the research curriculum of the Institute's researchers, to help them to gain the corresponding accreditation and continue with their research careers.
