Severo Ochoa Programme

SO visitors

Enhancing existing networks of international research collaborations between the IAC staff and renowned researchers of other leading research institutions is one of the main goals of the Severo Ochoa mobility program. We are offering a SO Senior Visitor Programme at IAC for group leaders and senior staff from centers of major international relevance to visit the IAC from 1 to 12 months. Here you can find a list of researchers who joined this programme or who will join to it soon.
