The IAC researchers have more than 40 active collaborations with research groups from all over the world and participate in more than 20 large international consortia. Promoting staff exchange has bee the IAC policy in the past 20 years. About 5% of the SO Programme funding will be spent on mobility of IAC permanent and RyC researchers, to make visits (typically of one month duration) to top-level international research institutions facilitating a more sustained collaboration with other research groups, and thus increasing the links between the IAC and foreign experts.
