The Fundació de Recerca Clínic Barcelona-Institut d’Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS) is a public research centre dedicated to biomedical research, founded in 1996 to broaden the clinical research of the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona (HCB). With >1,500 original articles and >2,500 publications annually, IDIBAPS is one of the leading biomedical research centres in Spain driving forward original multidisciplinary biomedical research on multiple diseases affecting our society, with the mission to translate “knowledge into cure”. The broad vision of IDIBAPS Strategic Plan is to improve the health and quality of life of citizens through high impact research and collaborations, at the highest level of scientific integrity, public accountability, and social responsibility. The close interaction of 100 clinical and laboratory research groups, composed by more than 460 Principal Investigators, drives forward original translational and multidisciplinary research oriented to solve relevant biological and clinical questions for human health. The researchers have access to novel and first-class infrastructures available together with six own core facilities offering a wide range of services under strict quality management controls performed at all levels. The institution has also a strong track record working in European projects (e.g. 90 projects obtained along H2020 and 36 in Horizon Europe) and has a dedicated European Projects Office (OPE) and the Knowledge and Technology Transfer Office (KTT).

The University of Barcelona is the most intensive university in research in Spain. Our university has a great capacity for innovation in various fields, of which the health sector stands out both due to the amount and the quality of the outcomes produced by faculties such as the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, the Faculty of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the Faculty of Psychology. Our activity within the EIT Health projects is often enriched and sometimes dominated by the technology and/or knowledge created in the Faculties of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science or even Fine Arts. We have also several Research Institutes that merge multidisciplinary teams working on topics as diverse as Neuroscience, Complex systems, Biomedicine, etc. as well as a couple of Technology Transfer Institutes such as CREATIO https://www.ub.edu/creatio/en/, the first Academic Center for the Production and Validation of Advanced Therapies in Spain, and Farmatec http://www.ub.edu/sdm/in_index.htm, a Service of Development of Medicines under GMP regulation

The UGA in Grenoble is a leading University of Science Technology and Health. Within 80 multidisciplinary laboratories, the UGA is developing outstanding research at national and international level.
