WELCOME TO OUR INSTITUTE!

The creation of the Institute of Physics and Aerospace Sciences (IFCAE) was approved at the end of 2022 by the University of Vigo. The institute, based in Ourense and with researchers at the Ourense and Vigo campuses, will be launched in early 2023. The aim of the institute is to develop its areas of work, integrating capacities to carry out cutting-edge scientific research, providing value to society, supporting the regional research and innovation strategy and structuring the transfer of the value developed in the academic institution to the industrial and business world.
