Connecting talent, innovation and the healthcare system

Today, the CERCA Institution welcomed group of students from the VHIR Master’s programme in Health Innovation and Entrepreneurship on a visit aimed at introducing them to how the research system in Catalonia operates and the role played by CERCA centres within it.

During the session, the Institution’s main areas of activity were presented, with a particular focus on innovation and knowledge transfer, especially in the biomedical field. The importance of connecting research with the healthcare system and the market was also highlighted, along with the role of transversal skills in fostering collaboration and multidisciplinary work.

The visit also provided an opportunity to showcase the working communities promoted by CERCA as key spaces for building partnerships and sharing knowledge across centres. The Master’s programme, promoted by VHIR, aims to train professionals capable of transforming knowledge into solutions with a tangible impact on the healthcare system.
