A day to transform potential into real opportunities

This Thursday, 13 November, the Job Marketplace took place, an initiative jointly promoted by I-CERCA, Bioinformàtics Barcelona and Barcelona Activa, with the aim of bridging the gap between emerging talent and the real needs of the CERCA centres, particularly in strategic areas such as data, bioinformatics and artificial intelligence.

With 86 candidates preselected by Barcelona Activa taking part, the event provided a space for direct meeting and dialogue between young professionals and the centres’ recruitment managers.

A network that is consolidating

Among the centres that participated, making their available vacancies in this sector known and interviewing candidates, were the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), the Catalan Centre for Science and Technology (CTFC), the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC), the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) and the IRTA.

This event follows on from the event held on 2 October, which focused on attracting talent in key technological areas. The Job Marketplace thus represents a further step in the shared commitment to building research of excellence with top-level talent.
