Organisation profile

The Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (ICP) is a foundation created in November of 2006, with the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Universitat Autònoma of Barcelona as patrons, which constitutes a contrast from the Institut de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont, founded in 1969. Therefore, the new Institut is the intersection for uniting experience and warmly renewed tradition.
As a research center of reference, conservation and diffusion of the paleontology of vertebrates in Catalonia (Spain), the ICP aims to strongly promote research and the conservation of the paleontological patrimony at an international level and allow the efficient transfer of knowledge to society.
