The Bioregion of Catalonia in Nature
        The Bioregion of Catalonia in Nature
                                        The prestigious science journal Nature has included a special supplement on Catalonia and its companies and research centers with its 24 November issue. Entitled “Spotlight on Catalonia”, the publication has devoted a total of 20 pages to the BioRegion of Catalonia and its stakeholders including ALBA synchrotron and its important activity in the life sciences field.
The special includes 3 pages of editorial contents produced by the journal, analyzing the factors that have allowed the BioRegion of Catalonia to weather the financial crisis that has “hit Spain hard” and keep research “in surprisingly good shape”. The article highlights, for example, that Catalonia obtained 180 research grants from the European Research Council (ERC) between 2007 and 2015, more than the rest of Spain combined.
The article also highlights the role of the ICREA agency created by the Catalan Government in 2001 to attract researchers with internationally competitive salaries, a policy that Nature authors say has worked in key areas like genomics, photonics and supercomputing, putting buffers in place in the BioRegion before the storm arrived.
