Obres socials

Les caixes tenen obres socials que promocionen la recerca. La majoria d'elles tenen projectes "ad-hoc" i contactar amb elles amb un projecte sòlid pot ser una bona font de finançament.

Unió pel Mediterrani

Tot i els problemes que està tenint aquesta organització creiem que pot ser una font de finançament per a projectes concrets o bé un bon partner per a projectes que financin altres institucions.
