The University obtains €4.4 million for 27 research projects research the knowledge national call for proposals for knowledge generation.

The University of Navarra has obtained €4,448,250 to develop 27 research projects research the knowledge Generation Projects call for proposals, promoted by the Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities and managed by the State research Agency research AEI). These grants, which are part of the research State research Plan, are awarded following a assessment process that evaluates the scientific quality, viability, and social impact of the research.

The funded projects address scientific and social challenges from a multidisciplinary perspective, with research in areas such as health and biomedicine, artificial intelligence, sustainability and the environment, nutrition, communication, and management . Within this framework, 11 projects are being developed in different Schools research centers research the academic institution, and another 11 at Cima de Navarra. In addition, the Clínica Universidad de Navarra is participating in two projects, while the IESE Business School is promoting three research projects in the field of business management.

According to Paloma Grau, Vice President research Sustainability at the University of Navarra, "this support allows us to advance research that addresses some of today's major scientific and social challenges, from health and sustainability to the impact of artificial intelligence." "These projects are in line with the priorities of Strategy 25-30, which is committed to research , multidisciplinary research aimed at serving society multidisciplinary " she adds.

research in biomedicine, technology, and social sciences

A significant portion of the projects are carried out at Cima of Navarra, which leads research focused on new advanced therapies for different types of cancer and genetic diseases, advances in immunotherapy, RNA, personalized medicine, and the study of tumor resistance mechanisms.

The School Pharmacy and Nutrition is participating with three projects focused on childhood cancer, development cutting-edge nanomaterials to optimize drug delivery, and the analysis of the first brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease. For its part, the research center (CIN), part of the Institute of Nutrition and Health, is developing a project the assessment and safety of vegan analogues of meat products.

In the field of healthcare, the Clínica Universidad de Navarra in two clinical and translational projects related to cancer, focused respectively on improving the diagnosis of brain tumors using magnetic resonance imagingand optimizing cancer treatments through proton therapy.

The call also supports projects in artificial intelligence, data science data advanced technologies developed by Tecnun-School of Engineering and the Institute of data Science data Artificial Intelligence (DATAI). One of Tecnun's research projects focuses on developing new architectures for 6G communication networks, while the other investigates the application of artificial intelligence to study how genetic changes affect the functioning of cancer cells. Also with biomedical applications, DATAI is participating with a project at developing efficient experimental designs and clinical trials in the field of research and clinical research .

The School Sciences is developing two projects focused on sustainable agriculture. One project focuses on assessment new agricultural solutions, while the other studies how different plant species adapt to climate change by associating them with beneficial soil microorganisms.

In the field of social sciences, the School Communication is researching the impact of artificial intelligence on digital media in Spain, while the School Economics and Business is analyzing the behavior of commodity prices, macrofinancial variables, and global risks.

For its part, IESE Business School is participating with three projects focused on cybersecurity risk and its impact on companies, sustainability strategies, and business management governance models in recessionary contexts.
