70 people from different cultures and countries carry out their PhD at the Instituto de Física Corpuscular, whose scientific staff conducted 22 theses and 17 master's degree final projects in 2017, both in Theoretical and Experimental Physics. IFIC also trains students in technical disciplines involved in the development of large international scientific infrastructures where IFIC researchers participate.
The Instituto de Física Corpuscular promotes outreach and communication activities to bring science to society. IFIC receives about 1,000 visitors each year, and participates in events such as Expociencia, the European Researchers Night, Pint of Science or the Dark Matter Day (pictured). IFIC also organizes several masterclasses to introduce high school students into particle physics.
In 2017, the Institute of Corpuscular Physics led or participated in 90 research projects amounting to a total of 24 million euros funding. These projects are obtained in highly competitive calls at regional, national and international level. In addition, IFIC staff has registered near thirty patents and utility models, applying the technology developed in basic research to medicine or environment.
Researchers at the Institute of Corpuscular Physics published in Nature Physics the first tomography of the Earth using neutrinos detected by IceCube experiment. This elementary particle is able to cross the planet, so it can provide valuable information on the distribution of its density in less known areas as the Earth's inner core.
