A strategic regional alliance to strengthen biomedical research

The biomedical research institutes from the Tarragona, Girona and Lleida provinces have a very similar nature and thus, in 2017 they joined forces in search for synergies in their research priorities, increase efficiencies across sites and promoting their work internationally. Together with their associated universities, reference hospitals and other healthcare centres, the Institutes aim at becoming benchmarks at European and international level.

The alliance will reinforce Catalonia’s positioning in the European biomedical and clinical landscape meanwhile bringing together a population with similar characteristics, dispersed geographical distribution, and environment.
