The newspaper ARA publishes a dossier about research in Catalonia. It provides a wide account, including a full description of the current status of research in the region, encompassing strengths, weaknesses and tendencies.
There is also mention of the main technologies of the future and the potential of each one in Catalonia and a specific section devoted to biomedicine and the growing but still underepresented community of female scientists.
The director of IRB Barcelona, Joan Guinovart, and the ICREA researchers Roger Gomis and Lluís Ribas are among those who comment on the different sections.
