PRESS RELEASE

The BBVA Foundation funds the cutting-edge projects of 15 research teams in Ecology, Economics and Digital Humanities

How are Mediterranean ecosystems coping with the effects of climate change? Are social networks responsible for society’s ideological polarization and the growth of support for nationalist parties? Can a mobile app installed in their phones monitor adolescents’ state of mental health and detect their risk of suffering psychological disorders? These are just some of the questions to be broached in the 15 projects funded in the 2017 edition of the BBVA Foundation Grants for Scientific Research Teams in the areas of Ecology and Conservation Biology, Economy and Digital Society, and Digital Humanities.

27 December, 2017

The grants allocated in these three areas will now be joined by a further six for team projects in Biomedicine and five in Big Data. The submission period runs from today’s date to February 28, in the case of Big Data, and to March 22 in Biomedicine. Call conditions and application forms are available on the BBVA Foundation website (www.fbbva.es).
