It is vital that research in bioengineering and nanomedicine receives private support.
Without this help, our mission to conduct high quality investigation to find solutions
for novel, affordable medical technologies is an insurmountable challenge.Josep Samitier, Director of IBEC
No discovery in science could take place without basic research. The mission of IBEC is to achieve excellence in the fields of bioengineering and nanomedicine – to conduct research that can represent unforeseen opportunities for society and human health.
Today’s technology and quality of life are the results of investment in science in the past, and by supporting basic research today you are enabling progress in the future. Your support enables IBEC’s labs to seize opportunities, to react swiftly to fast developments in the scientific world and to ensure high-level work with state-of-the-art equipment and material.
Please help us stay at the forefront of high-level scientific research.

Tax benefits
Tax Incentives of Patronage
Tax treatment of donations to the IBEC Foundation
The IBEC Foundation is a non-profit organisation protected by Law 49/2002, of 23rd December, on the tax treatment of non-profit organisations and the tax incentives of patronage.
In order to foster economic collaboration with the foundations protected by the aforementioned law, donations to entities of this sort are entitled to deductions on the income tax (for individual donors) or the business tax (for corporate donors).
- 1. Individual donors
Individual donors are entitled to reduce their income tax owed during 2015, by 50% of the first 150€ donated and 27,5% up to this amount. When calculating the deduction, individual donors must bear in mind that the deduction base – that is, the amount to which the factor of 50% and 27,5% are applied – must not exceed 10% of their taxable income. - 2. Corporate donors
Corporate donors are entitled to reduce their business tax owed by 35% of the donated amount.
Amounts that are donated during the current fiscal year but not deduced because the size of the taxable income is not large enough may be applied to the tax returns corresponding to the next 10 fiscal years. Like individuals, corporate donors must bear in mind that the deduction base must not exceed 10% of the company’s taxable income for the corresponding fiscal year, although any amount exceeding this limit may be applied to the tax returns corresponding to the next 10 fiscal years.
