PCI2026-2 funds the Spanish portion of transnational research projects that have already been selected under EU co-funded partnerships (Biodiversa+, CETP, DUT, QuantERA III, BrainHealth) or the US-led CRCNS computational neuroscience programme. It is open only to Spanish entities that were successful in those international calls, covering direct costs plus 25% indirect costs. The call acts as the national funding mechanism that activates the Spanish share once the transnational consortium has already won its international competition.
