Scientific vocations
We offer extraordinary opportunities for talented young students with a keen interest in science. Immersive experiences in real research: motivating, inspiring and relevant to guide their academic and professional careers.
Science moves the world forward
and you are the future!
Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera offers several programs of excellence to promote scientific vocations and talent among young students, through hands-on experiences in real environments in Research Centers, Hospitals, Universities and together with leading professionals.
In this way, we contribute to training future generations of scientists who are better prepared to contribute actively to solve the great challenges of our world.
We work with passion to promote not only scientific knowledge, but also critical thinking, curiosity, creativity, innovation and empowerment.
We take advantage of the Foundation's potential, knowledge and accumulated and available experience in various fields, and the alliances with leading institutions and people.
To ensure that everyone can access to Catalonia La Pedrera Foundation programs, the Foundation has a scholarship plan.

We collaborate with different organizations. Most of the projects collaborate with different research centers at national and international level.
Furthermore, schools are very important for our projects because they can help us to find talented students to then promote their scientific and professional vocations.
