The Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) is part of the University of Girona (UdG) and is currently formed by three research groups from the UdG, two experimental groups: the "Bioinspired and Supramolecular Chemistry and Catalysis" (QBIS-CAT), and the "Design and Modelling of Transition Metal Catalysed Reactions" (DiMoCat); and a computational group: "Theoretical Chemistry and Modelling and Molecular Engineering" (QTMEM).

The IQCC researchers carry out groundbreaking research both on computational and experimental chemistry in different fields, with the goal of sustainable catalysis development. Some examples of our research: bioinspired reaction design, organic synthesis, supramolecular reactivity and computational design of industrially interesting enzymes.
Moreover the researchers from the institute successfully collaborate with many renowned groups from all over the world, along with knowledge-transfer actions such as collaborations with private chemical companies.
