I would prefer to see the IGC rebooted as an independent research institute (they are rare in Portugal). But if the Gulbenkian is hellbent on having it annexed by an existing public university, the ITQB-NOVA is a much better fit. I ran the PhD program at IGC for a few years, we could not have done it without ITQB as the academic partner. There is also a complementarity in themes, the ITQB provides expertise in structural biology and biochemistry that the IGC does not have (the wonderful, generous and deeply missed Alekos Athanasiadis was the only real IGC resource for this).
