Translational Research and Innovation Programme (TRIP)

 

IRB Barcelona launches two new initiatives, with the support of ”la Caixa” Foundation through the “CaixaResearch Clinical Translation” initiative and the Department of Health of the Government of Catalonia.

 

1. International agreements

IRB Barcelona believes that scientific institutes must maintain close ties with the wider research community. To this end, we have numerous initiatives to ensure that our researchers establish fruitful collaborations with other scientists, research facilities and hospitals. Our collaborations go beyond borders, with formal agreements with institutes worldwide working in similar fields and with similar interests. These partnerships allow for the exchange of knowledge and expertise and provide researchers the opportunity to spend periods in other centres.

2. International Coordinated Projects

IRB Barcelona has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe research and innovation programmes".
