What is FAICE?

The FUNDACIÓN DE APOYO AL INSTITUTO CLEMENTE ESTABLE (FAICE) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2011 with the aim of creating a mechanism to streamline the management of research, development, and innovation projects led by IIBCE researchers.

In line with this premise, FAICE’s mission is to promote the production of original, high-quality knowledge generated at the Instituto de Investigaciones Biológicas Clemente Estable (IIBCE) to ultimately enhance its contribution to the community.

Over the years of operation, FAICE has developed an agile, effective, and transparent management model, becoming an indispensable resource for collaborating for supporting the generation of original scientific knowledge and the training of young researchers at the IIBCE.

FAICE views its activities as aimed at supporting the IIBCE’s activities within the National System of Science, Technology, and Innovation, without losing sight of the overarching goal of advancing scientific and techonological progress in Uruguay.

Special donations

These are donations made by companies that pay Income Tax on Economic Activities and Wealth Tax to entities established under Article 358 of Law 19149 of October 24, 2013

Through this type of donation,  donor companies receive the benefit of a tax exemption.  The objective of these special donations is to foster a link between research and production. To make special donations, the interested researcher(s) must develop a research project, which must be approved by the IIBCE board of directors. More information

Under these provisions, for every $100 a company donates to F.A.I.C.E., it receives tax credit certificates worth $75, while the remaining $25 may be deductible as an expense on the income tax return (25%), amounting to $6.25. In other words, the actual cost to the company is $18.75 for every $100 pesos donated.
